RCMP say exposure seems to have caused the death of a La Ronge man who was found on a walking trail between Far Reserve and the Bell’s Point Reserve.

The 32-year-old man was discovered unresponsive Monday afternoon.

An autopsy has been ordered, but the death is not considered suspicious.

The man’s name has not been released.

Meantime, police in Prince Albert suspect the extreme cold on Friday night may have contributed to the death of a woman there.

The body of the 51-year-old victim was found around noon Saturday in the 100 block of 18th Street East.

Foul play is not suspected, and the woman’s name has not been released.
