Edmonton police say an autopsy on a man who died near the Royal Alexandra Hospital last week has determined his death to be a homicide, and one man is in custody as a result of an investigation.

Just after 1:30 a.m. on May 15, officers responded to a report of an unresponsive man near the hospital.

The man was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where he later died.

The autopsy was able to identify the man as 34-year-old Clinton Quintal.

Police also confirmed that Quintal had died from multiple stab wounds.

Through an investigation, police were able to identify 31-year-old Irvin Badarm as the likely suspect.

Police say Badarm also allegedly committed a robbery earlier in the night of the fatal incident, at the Kingsway transit station.

Badarm has since been charged with second-degree murder and robbery.
