Homicide detectives are investigating after a man and a woman were found dead at an apartment building in Scarborough on Tuesday afternoon.
Police were called to residential area near Birchmount Road and St. Clair Avenue, around 2:15 p.m.
When officers arrived at the scene, they located a man deceased on the sidewalk just outside an apartment building. A woman was found deceased in an apartment unit on the eighth floor.
Toronto police Det. Rob Choe told reporters at the scene that both victims sustained “significant trauma.”
“How they sustained their injuries is something we’re trying to ascertain at this point,” he said.
Choe said that police were notified of the bodies after receiving multiple 911 calls. Officers are still investigating the circumstances of the deaths and could not say if the victims knew each other.
Police said they are not searching for any suspects at the moment.
“Right now, if some of the information that we have can be confirmed or grounded, it doesn’t look like we’re looking for anybody right now, however we’re still leaving all the avenues open,” Choe said.
The victims have not yet been identified by police. The investigation is ongoing.
