A 31-year-old-man died Sunday after falling from a highrise attached to the Bell Centre in downtown Montreal, police say.
Emergency crews were called to the area around 6:00 a.m. after the man was found outside the building connected to the Bell Centre through a walking bridge, according to police. He was pronounced dead upon their arrival.
The fall was likely an accident, Montreal police spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant said. Police couldn't confirm how many storeys the man fell.
The death is not being considered a criminal matter, and the investigation into what led to the fall has been passed on to the coroner's office, Brabant said.
