The development comes about three weeks after authorities were called to the scene on 32nd avenue in the city’s Lachine borough on July 29.
The 64-year-old woman’s body was discovered inside an apartment, according to police. No details were provided about how the victim died.
At first, her death was deemed suspicious by investigators. The major crimes unit of the force took over the investigation.
Police say it is Montreal’s 21st homicide of the year.
