Upon arrival, police found a deceased man in an alleyway near that location.

Homicide is investigating and considering the death suspicious. An autopsy has been scheduled for Tuesday.

On Monday afternoon, scorch marks could be seen on a garage door facing the alleyway, with blood in the snow.

Monique Nadeau has been living in the neighbourhood since 2002 and said she frequents the alleyway.

“Me and my grandson, we go to the park, we take the alley all the time. And now there’s a dead body, I’m concerned.”

Nadeau said because of the railway right next to her home it’s hard to hear anything outside and didn’t notice anything was amiss until she saw the lights from emergency vehicles.
