Toronto police are investigating two separate car fires after bodies were found in the vehicles in opposite ends of the city.
The first incident, police said, occurred at around 11:24 p.m. on Reesor Road, between Steeles Avenue and Old Finch Road in Scarborough.
Police said a vehicle fire was reported and officials later located a body inside the vehicle.
About an hour and a half later, another vehicle fire was reported at James Garden Park on Edenbridge Drive in Etobicoke, near Royal York Road and Dundas Street.
“It was reported that there was smoke seen coming from the park, and what sounded like an explosion. Police and fire arrived, and located a body inside the vehicle,” police said in an email to CP24.
The cause of death of both victims has not yet been determined but police said the homicide unit has been notified.
“It’s too early to determine if both incidents are related, but it will be considered,” the email continued, adding that police are in the “very early” stages of the investigation.
