A 64-year-old man was found unconscious in an alley outside a Collier Street apartment building in downtown Barrie on June 18, 2026, just after 9 a.m., and later died in hospital. Barrie Police are treating the death as suspicious and are asking anyone with information or video footage to come forward.
Emergency crews rushed the man to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Investigators say his injuries appear consistent with a fall.
Police have learned the man was visiting someone who lives in the building, but officers have not been able to reach that person. The area was cordoned off while officers canvassed for witnesses and video.
A post-mortem examination was scheduled for Friday, June 19 at the Centre of Forensic Sciences in Toronto, which conducts forensic investigations for the province. Police have not yet released the man’s name or any results from the examination.
Anyone with information or video from the area of Collier, Worsley, and Poyntz streets on the morning of June 18 is asked to contact Barrie Police.
