Police say the death of a woman whose body was found in an east-end Toronto building is considered suspicious.

The woman's body was discovered late Sunday in an apartment above Jilly's, a strip club near Broadview Avenue and Queen Street East.

Homicide detectives have been notified of the death but police say the squad hasn't been called in to investigate.

An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the woman's cause of death.

Police have not released her identity.
