Ontario Provincial Police say a 20-year-old Caledon man has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of an 18-year-old Thornhill man.
Police said officers were called to a property on King Street in Caledon at around 7:25 p.m. on Thursday to respond to “a sudden death.”
In a statement, police identified the victim as Thornhill resident Tyler Swartz.
Caledon resident Jonathan Weir was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. He made an appearance at an Orangeville court on Friday and is still in custody.
It’s not known how Swartz died. A police spokesperson said he couldn’t elaborate on the circumstances of the death as the details are the subject of a court-ordered publication ban.
Meanwhile, anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-584-2241 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
