Ontario's Special Investigations Unit says it's probing the death of a man inside a park near Midland.

The SIU says the incident happened on Wednesday when a Midland police officer spoke on the phone to a man wanted in a local investigation.

The unit did not release details of that phone call.

About an hour later, police say they got a distress call and found the body of a 45-year-old man in Midland's Pete Petterson Park.

The unit did not release the cause of death or any other details on the incident.

The SIU is an arm's-length agency that investigates police incidents involving death, injury or allegations of sexual assault.
