A coroner has concluded there is no reason to suspect foul play, according to Niagara police, after an autopsy was performed on a man’s body found in a Thorold, Ont. home.
Officers discovered the decomposing body at a home near Manley Crescent and Keefer Road on Sunday evening, after a complaint was called in.
Investigators say the deceased man was inside the residence “for a prolonged period of time.”
Two women from Thorold, Paulette Villamil and Tamara Bernard, both 46, are each facing a charge related to neglecting a dead body.
Bernard appeared via video in a St. Catharines court on Thursday, while Villamil is scheduled to attend a bail hearing Friday, say police.
Anyone with information on the investigation can contact Niagara police at 905-688-4111.
