According to the police, the investigators received information about the deceased as a result of the images of the man’s clothing and the description that were released to the public in a request for help.

The Major Crimes Unit was later able to confirm the identity of the individual with his immediate family.

The death of the man, a 66-year-old Windsor resident, is not considered suspicious.

Described as a Middle Eastern man with a slender build and a well-trimmed beard, the individual was found in a state of medical emergency on October 25 at around 5 a.m. in the Dougall Avenue area.

He died a short time later in the hospital.

He was not wearing identification at the time of his death, prompting police to go to the community for clues.
