Toronto police are continuing their investigation after a body was found in a fire pit at a North York park on Saturday morning.

Officers were called to Northwood Park, near Sheppard Avenue West and Sentinel Road, just after 10 a.m. after a passerby discovered the body and called police.

Officers found evidence of a recent fire and the body was badly burnt, making identification a challenge.

Police said the victim is a white male, believed to be between 20 to 35 years old with short black hair.

Det. Shannon Dawson said the investigation is focused on determining who the deceased man is.

The motive is unknown and police have no information on suspects at this time.

Police are asking for anyone who may have witnessed anything to contact them.

Former Toronto police homicide detective David Perry said it’s unlikely that the victim was killed at the site.

“My educated guess would be that this is a secondary crime scene, that there is another primary crime scene somewhere were the person was actually murdered,” said Perry, who is now the CEO of Investigative Solutions Network.

“This is probably what we would call a disorganized crime scene, where somebody panicked and was in a real hurry to get rid of this body. These are efforts to throw police off, quite often they are not sufficient.”
