Windsor police are investigating the city's 9th homicide of 2018 after a man died after falling from the second floor of a hotel on Howard Avenue.
The homicide count does not include the one case where a man was shot and killed by police in March.
The 36-year-old man fell on Monday in the early hours of the morning and was seriously injured. Police say there may have been a "criminal element" to the case on Monday.
