The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is looking into the circumstances surrounding a death in Windsor.
According to the release, first responders were called to a home on Hall Avenue for a person in medical distress on April 12 around 8:30 a.m.
Investigators say Windsor Police Service was first to arrive, located a man in the bedroom, and began to administer first aid.
The SIU says Essex-Windsor Emergency Medical Service then arrived and took over treatment of the man before transporting him to hospital.
A 26-year-old man from Windsor later died in hospital at 11 a.m., according to the SIU.
Three investigators and one forensic investigator are assigned to the case — the SIU says a post-mortem was performed on April 13.
