He was airlifted to St. Peter's Hospital and pronounced dead two and a half hours after bring discovered on Tuesday.

"Early indications lead police to believe that he might have known his attacker, though we don't know in what context or for how long," the police spokeswoman said in the report. "Detectives are appealing for information not only from the general public but also specifically from members of the gay community."

The victim, in his 50s, will be publicly identified once his next of kin is notified. (The Advocate)
