ST. JOHN, N.B. — Police say a 44-year-old man was found dead inside a tent on Tuesday at a homeless encampment in Saint John, N.B.
A news release today says emergency crews received a report Tuesday evening about a body found at the encampment near the causeway over the Courtenay Bay Channel.
The release from the Saint John Police Force says first responders arrived just before 9 p.m. and confirmed the man's death.
Investigators identified the man as Jamie Langille, and they say they don't think his death was criminal.
Last month, 58-year-old John Surette died in a tent near Paradise Row, in the north end of the city.
Surrette was found not far from where three people died last winter in two separate tent fires.
