Montreal police are questioning a 60-year-old man after a body was discovered in an empty lot.

Around 2:15 p.m. a pedestrian came across the body lying in the lot on Beaudry St. a bit south of Sherbrooke St.

Police said the body appeared to have been lying in the lot for several days, and they could not say if the person was male or female, or give an estimate about their age.

Later in the day investigators discovered clues that led them to believe the death was not natural.

On Tuesday police were able to confirm that the deceased was a 37-year-old woman, and that while her death was suspicious they did not consider it a homicide.

The 60-year-old man is due in court Wednesday to face charges of interfering with a dead body.
