Ontario Provincial Police have set up a tip line as they continue to investigate the death of a Sudbury man found in Jocelyn Township.

On Jan. 6 at approximately 2:45 p.m., OPP were called to the vicinity of P Line Road in the small municipality located on St. Joseph Island, responding to a report of a deceased person.

The deceased was later identified as 52-year-old Corey Hynes.

In late January, police announced they had charged 49-year-old Derrick Sutton of Sudbury with accessory after the fact to murder and indignity to a dead body.

At that time OPP said there was no threat to public safety.

Their investigation continues, and now police have set up a dedicated toll-free tipline at 1-833-941-9960. 

Anonymous tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or ontariocrimestoppers.ca.

OPP say more information will be released as it becomes available.

Corey’s sister told SooToday the circumstances surrounding his body being found on St. Joseph Island remain a mystery to family members, whose last communication with Corey occurred around Christmas via FaceTime, a popular application used for video and audio calls.
