Provincial police have upgraded charges against a 24-year-old northwestern Ontario man in connection with a death at Sandy Lake First Nation earlier this month.
49-year-old Wilfred Fiddler was pronounced dead at the community’s nursing station May 8 after being found earlier in a ditch.
OPP say Kory Fiddler, also of Sandy Lake, is now facing a charge of second degree murder.
He was originally arrested on a charge of aggravated assault.
He remains in custody.
