Toronto police say a man died on the streets of Toronto after being found in medical distress on Sunday morning.

Police say the man was found in "obvious distress" around 8:30 a.m. and was pronounced dead shortly after.

Police initially treated the case as suspicious, but police say criminal activity is not suspected after the cause of death was determined.

Police say they won't be releasing details on the cause of death.

Just before 10 a.m. police were taping off the area where the man was found.

At the scene, the body, which was covered in orange tarp, was in between a fence and an apartment building.
