"Obviously we veryquicklymade our way there and a very unfortunate discovery," he said, but would not reveal whether the man was located inside or outside of the house.

Michalyshen also wouldn't provide information about the man's age or his injuries or if police believe a weapon was used.

"I fully understand there is some vagueness to my release today, however it's for good reason. It's forreasons of our investigation," he said.

"We don't want to provide details prematurely. We want to,obviously, maintain the integrity of the investigation and providedetails in anappropriate way."

Interviews are ongoing and once those are completed, the police will share more information publicly,Michalyshen said.

An autopsy will also provide information about when the man likely died, he added.

Tuesday's homicide is the 23rd of the year, which is similar to the average of 25 over the previous number of years, Michalyshen said.
