Montreal police are investigating the suspicious death of a man in his 30s in the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough.
The victim was found in an alley by a passerby at about 5 a.m. Sunday.
A police spokesman says emergency responders tried to revive the man but his death was declared on site.
Jean-Pierre Brabant says there were "marks of violence" on the body, which led police to deem the death suspicious.
A large security perimeter was erected around the scene, which is near Mont-Royal and Parc avenues.
Police are asking any witnesses to come forward and are also seeking security camera footage from the area.
