By Rosalind Russell – East Algoma OPP has arrested two people in relation to an ongoing death investigation.
Constable Bev Gauthier says on July 6th, 2024, police were called after an unknown person with no vital signs was left at a hospital in Blind River.
The person was transported to hospital by two individuals in a pick-up truck and left prior to police arrival.
She says last week police arrested the driver and passenger of the pick-up truck and both have been charged under the Criminal Code.
Gauthier says the driver, a 65-year-old man from Blind River and a 37-year-old man from Elliot Lake have both been charged with one count each of public mischief and obstruction of a peace officer.
She adds both accused are to appear in Elliot Lake court on December 12th.
Gauthier says the East Algoma OPP Crime Unit is continuing with the investigation under the direction of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch and in conjunction with the Office of the Chief Coroner and the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service.
