Montreal police are investigating a suspicious death after a body was found outside a recycling plant in Montreal East.

Around 11:30 Tuesday morning workers at the company spotted the body near the corner of Sherbrooke St. and Durocher St.

Police say they cannot tell if the deceased is male or female, and have no idea how old the person is.

An autopsy will be performed to identify the body and to determine how the person died. At this point police don't know if the person died at that location or if they were placed there after the fact.

 

The original version of this story said the intersection was located with the limits of the city of Montreal. Sherbrooke and Durocher is in Montreal East.
