An investigation continues into the death of Geoffrey Alexander, more than a month after the Estevan man’s remains were discovered.
Estevan police Chief Paul Ladouceur said forensic pathologists are continuing their work with Alexander’s case.
“Any time there’s a death of this nature, there’s an investigation,” said Ladouceur. “We have to determine if there’s any foul play involved, or if it was an accidental death or a medical death.
“Obviously it’s too early to tell without the reports coming back from pathology and a full investigation being conducted.”
Investigations of this nature can often take a number of months, as everybody wants to be thorough.
Police are not treating Alexander’s death as suspicious, but they won’t rule anything out until the investigation is finished.
Numerous interviews have been conducted, and the process is ongoing.
“We want to track back what his activities were prior to his passing, and find out, as best as we can, what may have transpired that led to his death,” said Ladouceur.
Alexander was reported missing on Nov. 22, 2015, 10 days after he was last heard from. Police asked for public assistance in trying to locate him, and there was a campaign on social media.
Human remains were found on Dec. 21 by a person who was walking in the valley in west Estevan. Police announced three days later that they belonged to Alexander.
