RCMP are investigating the death of a 94-year-old man whose body was found on a farm near Rouleau, Sask.
Moose Jaw RCMP say they were called to the farm on Sunday at about 11:15 a.m. CST, after a relative found the deceased man.
It appears the man died on Saturday afternoon "while burning some grass in his yard," RCMP said in a release.
Police would not say if the fire may have caused the man's death. They would only say an autopsy will be conducted in Moose Jaw this week.
The town of Rouleau is located about 50 kilometres southeast of Moose Jaw.
