A man was found hanging from the ceiling of his home early Saturday morning. According to police reports, they received a call around seven thirty and immediately went to number twenty-nine Banak Street where they found the lifeless body of thirty-five year old Francis Dougall hanging from a rope. Police say Dougall’s common-law wife Irma Willoughby, who is living in her mother’s home in the same yard, says she and Dougall had a misunderstanding about a week ago and as a result she moved in with her mom.
