Richmond RCMP officers went to check on the man shortly after 6 a.m. on May 29 after he was spotted lying unresponsive in the bushes near the corner of Alderbridge Way and Minoru Boulevard.
Community members had posted on social media on Tuesday wondering what had happened to the man after spotting police activity in the area.
