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.
