There, a man in his late 40s was found dead.

Due to evidence at the scene, police believe the death to be suspicious and the homicide unit is investigating.

Several police vehicles and a mobile forensic crime scene unit were on scene in the Hamptons on Sunday morning and investigators could be seen removing items from the home.

Monica Chan lives two doors down from where the body was found. Chan said she was woken up to a knock on her door from police around 8 a.m. on Sunday.

“It’s shocking, because this is a quiet neighbourhood,” Chan said. She’s lived in the community for nearly 20 years but said she only knows a few of her neighbours there.

The home is a rental property and the owner, who declined to be named, told Postmedia he learned of the incident from neighbours.
