Well-known McGill music professor found dead

Well-known McGill University professor, choral conductor and musical scholar Eleanor Stubley has been found dead.

She had been missing since Monday, Aug. 7.

“She was found in a parking lot next to the canal, beside the Saint-Ambroise brewery; she was in the van,” brother Peter Stubley told Global News.

“From what I can tell, it would have been hard for anyone to realize that she was in there unless they came right up and looked inside.”

When it was reported Stubley was missing, her colleagues at McGill expressed concern.

“She’s a widely respected choral conductor and has been teaching at McGill for well over 20 years,” Stephane Lemelin, chair of the Department of Performance at the Schulich School of Music, told Global News Sunday.

“She’s a choral conductor, she’s a musicologist, she’s written extensively about Canadian music in particular. She’s a thought-provoking, articulate scholar.”
