A body was discovered Saturday near London and Stewart streets.

City police and firefighters were called to a wooded area in the neighbourhood just north of downtown to investigate after the body was spotted near the southwest corner of the intersection, behind Bradbury House, an affordable housing building operated by the Peterborough Housing Corporation.

The property is near the Traill College buildings belonging to Trent University.

Police worked at the scene into the afternoon, documenting the body’s location and searching the wooded area before city firefighters assisted in removing the remains later Saturday for a forensic examination.

Police said the death, which remains under investigation, did not appear to be suspicious.
