Alta. man's frozen body found in his yard after drinking heavily at office party
EDMONTON — A Slave Lake, Alta., man's frozen body was found in his backyard 18 hours after he'd been dropped off following a night of heavy drinking at his office Christmas party.
The mercury plunged to about -21 C early Saturday, when the 29-year-old man arrived home.
A friend later found his frozen body in the yard.
“The death of this young man is a tragedy for his family and this community," RCMP Staff Sgt. Roberta McKale said.
“This is the second accidental death in a week related to alcohol consumption in Slave Lake. The frustrating thing is that these deaths could have been prevented."
On Friday, a man died after he fell down stairs while drunk.
Slave Lake is located 250 km north of Edmonton.
