The Toronto Police Service’s homicide unit will be providing an update on Friday into the discovery of bodies found inside burning vehicles at two separate locations in the city earlier this week.
The first incident, police said, occurred just before 11:25 p.m. on Sept. 21 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. A body was also found in that vehicle.
Police have not released a cause of death in either case.
At the time, police could not say if the two fires were connected but noted that the homicide unit had been notified.
Det.-Sgt. Henri Marsman, of the homicide and missing persons unit, will be providing an update on the two incidents at a news conference at 12:30 p.m.
