The man’s identity was not released.

A stretch of rural road southwest of Saskatoon was closed to traffic on Monday as officers investigated the scene where the body was found. RCMP officers and their vehicles had blocked off an area of Township Road 362, also known as Hodgson Road, between Highway 60 to the west and Valley Road.

Warman RCMP got a call about the body around 10:50 a.m. on Sunday, the release stated.

The man was pronounced dead after police and EMTs arrived. An autopsy was scheduled to take place Monday.
