A residence on 90th St. and 130th Ave. was blocked off late Saturday morning after a man entering his home allegedly found a body on his front lawn.

Edmonton police are providing very little details at this time, but confirm they are considering both exposure and foul play while trying to determine the cause of death.

They say the victim, believed to be in his early 20s, was not dressed for the weather.

"It's quite cold outside and there's a male deceased on the front yard and we don't have anything more at this time other than the fact there is some blood near the body as well," said Acting Insp. Denis Jubinville.

"The death appears to be possibly suspicious so out of precaution we've called homicide unit, they'll be taking a look shortly."

Investigators are not sure if the man was assaulted or if he fell and injured himself, then succumbed to the cold. They also can't say at this point how long the body was out in frigid temperatures.

An autopsy is scheduled for early this week.
