TORONTO – More details have been released after human remains were found on a trail in the west end of the city last week.
At a press conference held Tuesday morning, Detective John Margetson revealed they were making progress in the case, but had yet to identify the victim.
“Until the coroner determines the cause of death, we can’t rule it a homicide at this time, but obviously it is a very suspicious death and there may be a criminal element to this,” Detective John Margetson told reporters Tuesday.
