Toronto police say a dog walker found a body near a pool in the city’s east-end Beaches area on Wednesday night.

Emergency crews were called to Woodbine Beach at around 10:40 p.m., police say.

The dog walker reportedly discovered the body and asked someone to call police. The body was located just south of the Donald D Summerville Olympic Pool near the shoreline, police say.

The discovery is being considered a “suspicious death” due to the fact that police say the body washed up on shore.
