Investigators have concluded there was “no foul play” after the body of a man was found next to a highway in Brampton Thursday.

The Ontario Provincial Police discovered the body in the area of Highway 410 and Bovaird Drive during an unrelated investigation. They notified Peel police shortly after 4:30 p.m., Const. Akhil Mooken told the Star.

On Monday, Peel police revealed the body was that of a 48-year-old man of no fixed address.

“The investigation has revealed there were no signs of trauma, or suspicious circumstances surrounding the body to suggest foul play,” Const. Bancroft Wright said.

Wright was unable to confirm whether next of kin had been reached.

Police have not disclosed how long the remains were at the location.
