Death investigation underway on Marcy Street in Ottawa

The Ottawa Police Department asked the public Monday to avoid the 1000 block of Marcy Street, where a death investigation has been launched.

In a news release, Ottawa Police Chief Brent Roalson said Ottawa police and medics were called at 6:47 p.m. to a Marcy Street residence for an unresponsive man. Upon arrival, it was discovered the man was dead.

No cause of death was provided. The release did not rule out foul play.
