According to police, St. Denis, 24, was taken to hospital around 1 p.m. on March 30 after officers were called to an apartment on the 100 block of Avenue O South.

St. Denis died of his injuries the next morning.

Friends of the victim are fundraising to purchase a commemorative bench along the river in his honour.

French has been remanded into custody until his next court appearance on April 28.
