Durham Regional Police are investigating their second homicide of the year after a man was found dead in Uxbridge Friday morning.

Police were called to a home on Galloway Crescent around 6:35 a.m. after a family member discovered the body. When police arrived, they found a man in his 20s dead, with obvious signs of trauma.

The victim has since been identified as 26-year-old Richard Morrison of Uxbridge.

Investigators spent much of the day at the home interviewing family and neighbours.

In a news release Thursday afternoon, Durham Regional Police said the death is considered suspicious and is being investigated by forensics officers and homicide detectives.

In a further release issued Friday night, police confirmed the death is now considered a homicide.

Police say they expect to be at the home over the weekend to continue their investigation.

There is no immediate threat to the community, police say.

Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Sgt. Allan of Durham Regional Police at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5400 or call Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
