Autopsy of Calgary man found dead in his apartment confirms homicide, police say

A homicide investigation has been launched after a Calgary man was found dead in his downtownapartment earlier this week.

Police and EMS were called to do a welfare check at an apartment in the 200 block of Sixth Avenue S.E. on Monday around 2:15 p.m.

Michael Donald Lloyd, 42, was found deceased inside, police said Tuesday, and it was apparent he had died several days earlier.

An autopsy performed Tuesday confirmed the man's death was a homicide, though police said the cause of Lloyd's death will not be released at this time.

Investigators are asking for anyone with information about what occurred in the apartment in the days leading up to the discovery, or who may have any information about the homicide, to call the police non-emergency number at 403-266-1234.
