Foul play has been ruled out in the death of a Toronto man who was found lifeless after a fall from his wheelchair in the bitter cold.
Mark Stroz, 29, was found covered in a jacket beside his wheelchair on Allanhurst Drive near Royal York Road and Eglinton Avenue West early on Feb. 15.
Toronto police said Monday that an autopsy has been completed and the man's death does not appear to have been the result of foul play, though the cause has not yet been released.
Stroz was found close to his home in temperatures hovering around -25 C. Police said on the weekend that the extreme cold temperatures are believed to have been a factor in his death.
Police maintain that he was returning home from an outing with friends Saturday night and was dropped off by a cab before he fell.
Officers have been trying to locate the cab driver, who may well have been the last person to see Stroz alive, in order to piece together what happened.
Speaking with CP24 Monday, one of his neighbours said the death has hit the community hard and described Stroz as a 'great guy' who had a good heart.
"What else can you say, this is such a tragedy," neighbor Marco Giorgio told CP24. "A lot of people knew him, a lot of people knew him.
"He was active, he was a good, healthy guy. He had a disability, but it didn't stop him. The way I say it, he had the eye of the tiger – he just kept going. It's just sad – my heart goes out to his family."
Stroz was also involved in his community, serving at one point as captain of the Markham Islanders sledge hockey team.
His family has said they're devastated by the loss and have asked for privacy as they mourn.
