Police investigating suspicious death of woman in her 20s south of Montreal

A woman in her 20s was found dead in an apartment building on Montreal's South Shore Tuesday afternoon, according to Quebec provincial police.

Sûreté du Québec (SQ) spokesperson Helene St-Pierre says the local police service was called to an apartment unit on Toulouse Street in Candiac just before noon. The case was later transferred to the SQ.

Someone who knows the woman was worried about her and called the police to do a wellness check, St-Pierre said.
