Police say there is currently no evidence to suggest the incident poses a wider threat to the public and believe it was an isolated event.

The Wellington County OPP Crime Unit is leading the investigation with oversight from the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch. Investigators are also working with the Office of the Chief Coroner, the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service and OPP Forensic Identification Services.

As officers work to establish what happened, investigators are asking people who were in the Wellington Road 32 area overnight to check any available dashcam or security-camera recordings.

Police are particularly interested in footage captured between 9 p.m. Sunday, September 20, and 7:30 a.m. Monday, September 21, as it could help identify suspicious vehicles, people or activity connected to the investigation.

Anyone with information that could assist police is asked to contact the Wellington County OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

The investigation remains active, and police continue to gather evidence and information surrounding Kyte’s death
