UPDATE: Prince Albert Police have confirmed the body of one person, a 47-year-old man was found outside just after 9:30 a.m. Thursday. Police and the provincial coroner have determined the death is not suspicious. 

Earlier paNOW erroneously reported two bodies had been located.

—————

For the second time in two months, a home in Prince Albert’s East Hill neighbourhood has become a scene involving fatalities.  

A body was found Thursday morning, at the bottom of the front steps to a home near the corner of 20th St. E. and Sixth Ave. E.
 
Police have not released any information, but investigators were seen at the house Thursday morning.
 
On July 13, the body of 42-year-old Jordan Ballantyne was found in the back yard of the same residence. Police later ruled the death a homicide.

Last month, Ballantyne’s family made a plea for someone to come forward with more information in the case.

 

Editor’s Note: This story was edited at 12:36 p.m. on Sept. 6 to clarify the number of bodies found at the residence.
