Police in Prince Albert have launched an ongoing investigation after a 50-year-old man died following a physical altercation late last month. Authorities now work to understand what exactly led to his death.
According to the Prince Albert Police Service, officers first responded to a call on March 29 around 7:20 p.m. at a home on 17th Street West. They found the man injured after a fight with someone he knew. He showed visible injuries, including bleeding from his nose and mouth.
Paramedics took him to Victoria Hospital, where he remained conscious. However, he left before doctors could fully assess him, which may have delayed proper treatment.
A few days later, on April 2, the man returned to the hospital for care. Doctors then transferred him to Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, where his condition worsened. He died on April 5, prompting officials to take a closer look at the earlier incident.
The Saskatchewan Coroners Service alerted police after learning from the man’s family that he had been involved in a physical altercation days before his death. This new information led investigators to connect the fight with the fatal outcome.
Authorities have scheduled an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. Police continue to gather evidence and speak with those involved.
Officials also reassured the public that there is no ongoing risk related to this case. They believe the people involved knew each other, which suggests this was not a random attack.
This case highlights how serious injuries can worsen over time, especially without immediate medical care. As investigators wait for autopsy results, the community now looks for answers, and for clarity on what truly happened in the final days of the victim’s life.
