Esterhazy RCMP are investigating a homicide after officers found a man's body inside a home.

The discovery happened on Sunday when officers were conducting a wellness check and found the man at a rural residence in the northeast part of their detachment area.

RCMP said his death is being investigated as a homicide and they are working to identify the man, with help from the Saskatchewan Coroner's Service.

Investigators do not believe there is a connection between this death and a February 2023 homicide in the Esterhazy/Stockholm area, and they do not believe there is an increased risk to public safety.

RCMP consider the death to be suspicious and ask anyone with information to contact their local police.
