Toronto police said they received a call about a suspicious death at around 5:15 p.m. on June 12.
Officers arrived at the Richmond Street building, between Strachan Avenue and Niagara Street, and found a 28-year-old woman with obvious signs of trauma in a fifth-floor apartment. The woman, who has not yet been identified, was declared dead at the scene.
