Winnipeg police have identified a man found unresponsive on a city street in July and notified his family. The man was located on July 28 at the intersection of Main Street and James Avenue, and despite previous unsuccessful attempts to identify him, police were able to confirm his identity. Police spokesperson Const. Dani McKinnon stated that it was not a member of the public who provided the crucial information leading to the identification.
Instead, they utilized existing investigative tools and leads. McKinnon explained that the man's family has been notified and thanked the public for their assistance. The police have made similar appeals to the public in the past five years, noting that these requests can be sensitive due to the lack of information the family may have regarding their loved one's circumstances.
Once identified, the investigation can be closed, but the family must still learn about the details of their loved one's situation.
