The SPVM tells MTL Blog that police were dispatched to the area after an emergency call at around 10 p.m. on Wednesday night.

Upon arrival, police found the victim, an 18-year-old man, unconscious and with injuries to his head. The dog was found dead at the scene.  

The man was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead due to his injuries. 

Investigators believe it was an accident.

"Nothing led us to believe that it was voluntary," said an SPVM spokesperson. 

"It seems to be a sad accident."
