A male in his early 20s was pronounced dead by EMS responders early this morning outside the Glendon Hotel, according to a press release from the RCMP.
The Bonnyville RCMP detachment received a call at 1:15 a.m. on Oct. 26, reporting a male on the ground outside the hotel. After responding to the call, the victim was pronounced dead.
