Police are still refusing to confirm that a man found dead Sunday is indeed hip hop artist Paul Frappier. Frappier’s family does not understand the reasons behind the refusal to reveal his identity.
Frappier’s body was found in an industrial area close to the Lachine Canal. All police are willing to reveal at this point is that there were obvious signs of violence on the body.
Known by his stage name Bad News Brown, Frappier was a self-taught musician, whose talents included the harmonica. Many say Frappier had a promising career ahead, opening up for major acts and starring in local film Bumrush.
Although he had a troubled past, the family claims that Frappier had no known enemies.
Police have no suspects at this point.
