A woman found by a passerby on a Brampton pathway with “signs of trauma” has died, prompting the Peel Regional Police homicide unit to be called in.
A police spokesperson told Global News emergency crews were called to the area of Ross Drive and Templehill Road, south of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive, at around 9 p.m. on Wednesday.
A spokesperson for Peel Paramedics said the woman was assessed at the scene, but wasn’t taken to a hospital.
As of late Wednesday, investigators didn’t release suspect information.
Officers closed Highway 410 between Bovaird Drive and Mayfield Road as part of the investigation, but it wasn’t immediately clear why specifically it was shut down.
Meanwhile, officers appealed for anyone in the area with surveillance or dash-cam video to call police.
