The Royal Canadian Mounted Police will investigate the unsolved death of a Native man, CBC reports.

Lawrence Wegner froze to death on the outskirts of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. His family believes the police were involved.

On Monday, CBC published new information about the case, including a composite sketch of a police officer alleged to have been seen with Wegner before he died. The sketch resembles someone on the police force, said the Wegner family's lawyer.
