An investigation is underway by the RCMP after a woman’s body was found in a garbage bin.

Officers were called to High Street at around 12:10 pm on Sunday after reports of a sudden death.

Police are considering the death as suspicious, and there’s no word yet on how the woman died.

Early Monday morning, the RCMP conducted a police operation on Norwood Avenue in connection with the suspicious death.

An autopsy is scheduled to confirm the woman’s identity and to determine the exact cause of death.
