Montreal police found what may be a human head Sunday afternoon at a public park.

Investigators probing the Luka Rocco Magnotta dismemberment case had information that led them to Angrignon Park shortly after noon. The park was closed after a suspicious object was found near the park’s pond.

Montreal police spokesperson Anie Lemieux said, “we must wait for results of analysis that will be done over the next few days” or even a week. She said the object was sent to a coroner, but that it was too early to confirm if it was a human body part.

Quebec media outlets QMI and Radio-Canada reported that the object is a human head but offered no other information.

Montreal police are investigating the death of Concordia University student Jun Lin. The Chinese national is believed to have been killed in late May.

Lemieux said Lin’s family was notified about Sunday’s development, as they are whenever there is a possible development. She added that limited information is being released out of respect for the family.

Angrignon Park is located at the end of a subway line in the city’s south end, and is about a 15-minute drive from the apartment where police believe Jun Lin was slain.

His torso was found in a suitcase in a Montreal alley, while his hands and feet were mailed to Conservative Party and Liberal Party headquarters in Ottawa and to two Vancouver schools.

His head has yet to be found.

Magnotta was arrested in Berlin and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the case.
