His body was found across the street from a house party, from which many people fled as soon as police arrived on scene.

Two men are currently being sought for questioning by the Calgary Police Service; 25-year-old Christian Whitebear and 19-year-old Matthew Crane-Watchmaker. They are both wanted on unrelated charges.

Police say they believe a disagreement led to the use of pepper-spray during the party.
