The death of a man in northern Saskatchewan earlier this week is being investigated as a homicide.

La Ronge RCMP says officers were called Monday night to a home at Morin's Hill on the Lac La Ronge First Nation, according to a news release.

McIvor McKenzie, 53, was later pronounced dead by staff at the La Ronge hospital.

An autopsy conducted Wednesday led RCMP to classify the death as a homicide, but no further information has been released.
