Officers noticed the package had blood on it and a Hazmat unit determined “there was possibly a human foot in the box,” police said in a statement.

The package is believed to have been delivered by Canada Post and police said the package was at least partially opened by a receptionist on the 12th floor before it was called in as suspicious.

Meanwhile, a human torso was discovered in a suitcase found in a pile of garbage in Montreal Tuesday morning. Police there have been in contact with Ottawa police regarding the potential foot discovery, but have yet to link the two incidents.

Calls to the Tories’ headquarters by the National Post, were not immediately returned.

Police could be seen in the building carrying what looked to be a cooler.

“Conservative Party HQ” quickly became a trending topic on Twitter after the story broke.

Ottawa’s Major Crimes unit is investigating the incident.
