The RNC is investigating the sudden death of a male international student, believed to be in his twenties, in St. John’s Saturday morning.

The St. John’s Regional Fire Department was also called to the scene when the victim’s roommates reported an odor in the home.

Platoon chief A.J. St. Croix said firefighters entered the home on Elizabeth Avenue wearing breathing apparatus, detected no issues and eventually cleared the structure of any odors.

Police remained on scene until the man’s body could be removed and taken to the office of the medical examiner for further investigation.

More details will be provided as they become available.
