Montreal police are investigating after a man in his 20s was found dead inside an apartment in the city’s Lachine borough Wednesday evening.
Police spokesperson Jeanne Drouin said they found the body inside a building on Duranceau Avenue, near des Érables, after receiving a 911 call at 5:30 p.m.
The 23-year-old victim, Drouin said, had injuries to the upper body.
“He was declared dead at the scene,” she said.
The apartment building was cordoned off and officers met with residents in the area.
Drouin added that a search for nearby surveillance cameras was also underway.
Investigators were at the scene to gather evidence and piece together the causes and circumstances that led to the man’s death.
His death marks the 32nd homicide in Montreal this year, according to police.
