Police are investigating two separate incidents where bodies were found in Hamilton on Monday.

The first came after a man's body was pulled from Hamilton Harbour Monday morning.

Investigators say the man was in his 50s. He was transported to hospital without vital signs, where he was pronounced dead.

Const. Lorraine Edwards told CBC News it is too early in the investigation to say if the man's death is being considered suspicious or not.

"Police are continuing the investigation," she said.

Police are asking people to avoid the Eastport Drive and Pier 27 area as traffic delays are expected there while rescue vehicles are on scene.

The second incident is a body found in the grass near the Claremont Access, not far from Charlton Avenue.

Edwards said the death is not being treated as suspicious.

"It is now a coroner's case," she said.
