Two days after High Level RCMP launched a suspicious death investigation, officers have charged an 18-year-old man with second-degree murder.

Tyrell Peecheemow is the accused and is scheduled to appear in court on October 18th.

The identity of the 20-year-old victim, as well as his cause of death, have yet to be released.

Major Crimes Units from Peace River, Edson and Edmonton were called in for the case, as was the Forensic Identification Unit from Peace River.

High Level is about 730 kilometres north of Edmonton.
