Police investigators — including the RCMP’s Major Crimes Unit — continue to examine the scene of what they’re calling a Belle Isle sudden death.
Vehicles, including a black forensics van, were parked outside a house on Route 2 in Wabana Friday afternoon.
Police say the person died Thursday night, but a Friday morning email to the media offered no further details about what happened, other than there is no known risk to public safety.
A witness who lives near the scene told CBC News there was an argument at the house just before 11 p.m. Thursday when they said they heard some commotion.
The RCMP email said there will be an increased police presence in the community while officers investigate the death.
“Residents are free to move about as normal, but are asked to respect all barricades while police do their work,” the statement said.
