Police now say Lake Echo death a homicide



Police have launched a homicide investigation into the death of a man in Lake Echo that was originally deemed as suspicious.

Halifax RCMP spokesman Cpl. Scott MacRae said they have now ruled the death as a homicide. He also said the victim is a 20-year-old man. He was found at a residence off of Mineville Road on Sunday.

MacRae said a sequence of events led police to the property yesterday.

“As with any investigation, there is information out there that led us to this property,” MacRae said.

Investigators are hoping to receive results from the autopsy by the end of day today. Police are not releasing the cause of death because it is pertinent to the investigation.

“It’s still pretty early in the investigation and we’re continuing with all avenues to find out what happened here (Sunday) and hopefully put the pieces of t he puzzle together to find out the magic why,” MacRae said.
