Canadian’s mysterious death in U.K. not suspicious: police

British police say the mysterious death of a Canadian student in Bristol is not being treated as suspicious.

The Avon and Somerset Constabularly, based in the English town, formally identified the victim Monday as 22-year-old Garrett Elsey.

The Edmonton-area man was found dead at a recycling facility in Avonmouth last Thursday.

Police spokesman Wayne Baker says the investigation is continuing with the help of the coroner.

He says an autopsy has already been conducted.

But he says police have yet to determine how Elsey’s body ended up in the facility, adding that will be part of the investigation.

“We have provisional findings but further investigations are taking place in conjunction with the coroner,” Baker said.

“These are likely to take some time. But we can confirm that the death is not being treated as suspicious.”

The family has requested privacy during the investigation. A family member earlier said that Elsey went to Bristol to study for a master’s degree in international security.
