Toronto police say they were called to an apartment unit at 330 Jarvis St., near Carlton Street, just after 6:30 p.m. on Saturday.

The victim was found with "multiple serious stab/slash wounds," according to a police news release issued Sunday.

The man was rushed to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Police have identified the deceased as Brent Gartner, 51, of Toronto.

A resident of the Jarvis Street building told CBC News on Sunday that he called security last night after a friend gave him some disturbing information.

At about 6:30 p.m., he said, "My friend came down to visit me and he said there was a pool of blood in the elevator."

Shortly after police arrived at the Jarvis Street apartment, they were called to respond to a man who was found injured a short distance away.
