Halton Regional Police have identified the 91-year-old whose death in Oakville Saturday is being investigated as suspicious.

Shortly before 5 p.m., police were called to Allan St. and Church St., north of Lakeshore Rd. E., and found a 91-year-old man with “obvious signs of trauma” to the chest on the sidewalk near Revera Churchill Place retirement home.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police told reporters at the scene that they did not yet know the cause of the injury. The incident is being investigated as a suspicious death by the Halton police homicide unit.

In a Sunday press release, police identified the 91-year-old as Edmund Ferrari of Oakville.

A post mortem has been scheduled for Monday.

On Sunday, police released images and a video of a vehicle seen leaving the area shortly before the discovery of Ferrari.

It is described as a newer-model black four-door Volkswagen Golf. It was southbound on Allan and then went west on Lakeshore.

Police said they are looking to speak with the man who was seen leaving in the Golf. They described him as Black, between 30 and 40 years of age, over six feet in height, with an average build and shoulder-length hair. He wore a black hoodie and black pants, possibly with a reflective stripe.

Anyone with more information, security camera footage or dash-cam footage is asked to contact investigators at 905-825-4747 ext. 2216 or to contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS.
