Police say they arrested two men at the scene, but both were released from custody.
They say criminal charges are not being considered at this time in relation to the death.
Police say a 28-year-old man is scheduled to appear in Halifax provincial court Jan. 3.
He is charged with break and enter to commit indictable offence of assault with a weapon, possession of weapon dangerous to the public peace, wearing a disguise and breach of probation.
