Fredericton police believe the cause of a fire and sudden death earlier this week is suspicious.
On Wednesday at 5:20 a.m., Fredericton fire crews were called to a house fire on Canterbury Drive where firefighters found a dead body in the home.
It has since been determined the cause of the fire and the sudden death are suspicious.
Police do not think releasing the man’s identity will help the investigation at this point.
