Montreal police say they are investigating after a woman’s body was found in a garbage container in the city’s Anjou borough early Wednesday.
Authorities were called around 8 a.m. to an apartment building on de la Malicorne Place near de la Nantaise Avenue. Officers found the deceased victim inside a dumpster on the property.
Police say the victim is a 55-year-old woman, but did not provide more information about her identity.
Investigators are treating the victim’s death as suspicious.
Police said there appear to be no signs of violence on her body and “no criminal evidence” was found at the scene.
A safety perimeter was set up in the area as technicians and investigators remained at the scene.
