A 24-year-old man whose lifeless body was found behind a Mississauga strip mall earlier this month died from hypothermia, Peel police confirm.

The man, who has now been identified as Harshalkumar Desai, was discovered near Aimco and Matheson boulevards at around 1:45 p.m. on Feb. 15. Police previously said he had suffered some sort of head trauma and his death was initially deemed ‘suspicious.’

Investigators now say it has now been determined that the man died of hypothermia and no foul play is suspected.

The temperature that afternoon was a frigid -24 C but felt more like -33 with the wind chill.
