Peel Regional Police are investigating a suspicious death at a Brampton plaza after a dead woman was found in a vehicle.

Officers received several 911 calls and made the discovery just before 3:40 p.m. at Heart Lake Town Centre, at the corner of Sandalwood Parkway East and Kennedy Road North.

Peel Const. Iryna Yashnyk said it’s too early to determine whether foul play factored into the death.

“It’s suspicious at this point in the investigation,” she said.

Witnesses on scene say it appears a tow truck driver who arrived on scene to remove a car from the parking lot made the discovery.

Police said some businesses owners, employees and customers may be prevented from getting into certain stores due to the yellow tape.

Residents in the area expressed their concern on social media.

“There’s yellow tape all over the plaza,” said Tweeter Kathy Zawadzkie. “It’s frightening. Lots of police cars and fire trucks.”

Police are canvassing the area for witnesses and forensics officers will be examining the scene.

Anyone with information can call police at 905-453-2121, ext. 2233 or Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
