The man was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police said his injuries suggest he had been assaulted.
The victim has been identified as 35-year-old Maxim Bourgon-Frigon, who is known to police. An autopsy will be performed in Montreal.
Police had a section of des Allumettières closed for several hours Thursday. A portion of rue Morin remained closed Thursday.
A 56-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman were arrested Thursday evening at 9:15 p.m. without incident. Both suspects are previously known to police.
An autopsy will be performed in Montreal to determine the cause of death, police say.
The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information regarding the events that occurred this morning is asked to contact the Gatineau police info line at 819 243-4636, option 1.
Police said the three homicides in Gatineau so far this year are unrelated.
The first homicide occurred on April 22 following an armed assault on rue Vianney. The investigation led SPVG officers to arrest Jonathan Lepage-Clément.
The second homicide is related to an investigation that began on April 7 after a man was seriously injured following an assault. On the morning of April 18, officers arrested Jonathan Pelletier-Markus, who appeared before the Court of Québec to face a charge of aggravated assault. The victim subsequently succumbed to his injuries and the charge of aggravated assault against Pelletier-Markus was amended in recent weeks to a charge of involuntary manslaughter.
