(Montreal) A woman aged in her late twenties was found dead in her home on rue Toulouse, in an “uneventful neighborhood” of Candiac, a case that the authorities are currently treating as a “suspicious death”.
“It is much too early to move forward if it is a murder, we are rather talking about a death of unknown causes,” said Sergeant Audrey-Anne Bilodeau, of the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), which specifies that there should be an autopsy to shed light on the causes of death.
The SQ also estimated that the victim was an occupant of the apartment where she lost her life: “that seems to be the case,” replied Mme Bilodeau.
Police officers from the Roussillon Intermunicipal Police Agency were called to go to an apartment building on rue Toulouse, very close to the Plein-Soleil primary school, around noon on Tuesday. The investigation has since been transferred to the provincial police force.

Plein-Soleil primary school is located very close to the building where the victim’s lifeless body was found.
At the passage of The Press, at supper time, a security perimeter was in place and a large police deployment was visible. An SQ command post was also set up near the place where the victim was found unresponsive.
Louis-Charles Youssef, a resident of the neighborhood, did not hide his surprise that such an event occurred a few hundred meters from his home. The neighborhood – a fairly recent development – has a significant number of families, most of them quite well-off, he says. “It’s a neighborhood without history, nothing has ever happened here. »
