The Special Investigations Unit says police responded to a call in Minden Hills on Sunday about a man who had left his property with a firearm.

The SIU says Ontario Provincial Police arrived in the area of Hwy. 1 and Hwy. 17, where an officer and the man who had taken cover in the bushes exchanged gunfire.

It says the 60-year-old man was found dead and his injury was determined to be self-inflicted.

The watchdog says multiple investigators are assigned to the case.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to come forward and contact the SIU.
