The woman was reported missing March 13, after she disappeared from the Lakeshore Road East and Cawthra Road area.
A week later, on March 20, she was found dead on the driveway of her home on Westmount Avenue, near 1st Street in Mississauga.
Her death was ruled a homicide by Peel Regional Police on March 29.
Her cause of death is still under review by the Coroner’s Office but police said blunt force trauma may have contributed to her death.
