Police forensics specialists were working around the body much of the day. The local coroner was also at the scene. A funeral home car and two police officers on all-terrain vehicles removed the body from the bush just before 5 p.m.

The body has been taken to Toronto where a post mortem examination will take place, OPP Const. George Silvestri said. Provincial police have taken over the investigation.
