A 21-year-old man has been charged with manslaughter in connection with a death on the Kawacatoose First Nation.

Ernest Worm, 69, was found outside a home on the reserve Thursday morning and was taken to hospital in Regina. He died the next day.

A subsequent autopsy and investigation led to the arrest of Michael David Kay, a resident of Kawacatoose. Police say the two men knew each other.

Kay was picked up by police on Monday and is appearing in Regina Provincial Court this morning at 9:30.
