Calgary police say the death of a 21-year-old Siksika Nation man who fell from a downtown high-rise was not criminal in nature.
Officials say an autopsy completed by the medical examiner determined O'Shea Red Crow's death was non-suspicious.
The CPS homicide unit investigated all the evidence collected at the scene and spoke with multiple witnesses to help make the determination.
Red Crow fell from an apartment building in the 1100 block of Third Street S.E. at about 5 a.m. on Sunday, June 1.
He was initially taken to hospital in life-threatening condition but later died.
Red Crow was remembered by friends and family as 'a gentle giant' and a soft-spoken, humble person.
He played most recently for the Agra Risk Wheatland Kings in Strathmore, Alta., but was also a member of the United States Premier Hockey League's Vernal Oilers.

Some tough times for some big names in growing PWHL
Until this past week, the majority of the best players in women's hockey have been shielded from the dirtier side of the business side of professional sports and how that could impact their day-to-day lives. Article content An expansion process focused on maintaining league-wide parity ended that shielding once and for all. Article content Article content And kudos to the women — the likes of Hilary Knight, Sarah Nurse, Alex Carpenter and Emerance Maschmeyer to name just four — who handled this all with so much grace. Article content It can't have been easy for hockey players who all their lives have been told they are at the very elite level of their sport, to suddenly hear from the general managers of the teams they helped form that there were three other players they would rather protect going forward. Article content All four of the aforementioned players were foundational signings — the three players on each of the six original clubs that the teams would be build around — and two years later all four, one of them a captain, were left unprotected. Article content Then put the shoe on the other foot and imagine being the GM told they can protect just three players and having to weigh factors such as age, financial flexibility and long-term goals to say nothing of the personal relationships built over two years and some longer than that, and then having to approach a player who has probably never been cut from a team and tell them they would not be protected. Article content But that was the hand dealt both GMs and many of the league's biggest stars over the past few weeks. Article content Article content Soft — read wildly popular — landing spots in Seattle and Vancouver helped cushion the blow for the players, but that didn't stop it from being a roller coaster ride these past few weeks for some of the most highly respected women in the game. Article content Article content Nurse was as much the face of the Sceptres franchise as anyone on the team. She was one of three foundational signings along with defender Renata Fast and eventual team captain Blayre Turnbull. She was part of the marketing campaign that introduced the PWHL to Toronto. She was even part of the Player's Association Executive that helped negotiate the collective bargaining agreement this league will play under for another six seasons yet.

'Is a Canadian team even allowed to win me anymore?' The imagined thoughts of the Stanley Cup
This week saw the beginning of the Stanley Cup finals, which sees the Edmonton Oilers in contention to potentially become the first Canadian team since 1993 to win the NHL championship trophy. Article content In Dear Diary, the National Post satirically re-imagines a week in the life of a newsmaker. This week, Tristin Hopper takes a journey inside the thoughts of the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup. Or, as its more commonly known, the Stanley Cup. Article content Article content Article content Monday Article content Article content Life comes at you fast. One minute you're a donated silver cup being fought over by toothless Canadian amateurs fresh from a shift at the dockyards. The next, you're a heavily trademarked corporate laurel that spends most of its time around American millionaires. Article content I've been to the White House so often I've got my own Secret Service code name. I've been filled with hot wings and Kristall liqueur more times than I can count. There are times I catch myself spelling 'colour' without the 'u.' I stared in the mirror for several minutes at the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup inscription on my bowl. How often do I forget it's even there. Article content Tuesday Article content I'll be frank; I didn't know Canadian teams were still technically able to win me. I figured Canada had lost a war or something, and as a condition of the surrender they had to forsake access to their most treasured cultural object. Article content That's how these things usually go, right? That's why the Mona Lisa, an Italian cultural treasure, is in France. It's why Egypt's Rosetta Stone is in the U.K. Article content Article content So to learn that the Oilers merely have to win some hockey games to get me back is quite surprising. I thought my return to Canadian soil could come only at the conclusion of some devastating internecine conflagration. Article content Article content Wednesday Article content The answer is, no. The last I heard from any of them was when the Roland Michener Tuna Fishing Trophy tried to borrow money. Do I think I'm better than them? Yes. As much as I respect the emerging sport of Dragon Boat racing, I would controversially contend that the Ramon John Hnatyshyn Dragon Boating Cup doesn't inspire the heart of young athletes in quite the same way as I do. Article content Thursday Article content I would remind people that I continue to spend a disproportionate amount of time with Canadians. It's just that these particular Canadians live in the United States, work for U.S. companies, are paid in U.S. dollars and have married Americans (blondes, mostly).
