The RCMP have determined through investigation and consultation with RCMP Major Crimes and the Chief Medical Examiner that the death of a 31 year-old Stettler male was not found to be criminal.

On December 10, 2016 the RCMP responded to a complaint of a burnt vehicle in rural Stettler and located a deceased male in the vehicle.  A thorough investigation was launched with the assistance of RCMP Major Crimes.

This investigation remains ongoing, however the Stettler RCMP wish to confirm that the public need not be concerned about any criminality in relation to this very unfortunate event. 

The name of the deceased will not be provided by the RCMP.  No further information will be updated on this investigation.
