Montreal police are investigating a death in Notre Dame de Grace.

Officers discovered the body of a 42-year-old woman inside an apartment at 6165 Sherbrooke St. West, near Beaconsfield Ave., just after 7 p.m. Sunday.

Family members asked police to visit the home because they had not heard from the woman for some time.

The body has been sent to the coroner where an autopsy will be conducted to try to determine how she died.
