Toronto police have confirmed the identity of the body found encased in concrete and submerged underwater in a barrel over the weekend. But homicide detectives won't reveal details until an afternoon news conference. The victim's family has been notified by police. Police made the gruesome discovery Sunday afternoon after receiving a telephone tip. The barrel was discovered about 100 metres offshore near a construction site Lower Jarvis Street and Queens Quay. Police pulled it out of the water shortly after noon on Sunday. Due to the weight of the barrel, police said it probably took more than one person to dump it. Investigators also believe the barrel may have been dumped before construction began on the site, when the area was a paved parking lot. The site is being transformed into a public park.
It is really a tragic accident because no person should be put into a barrel and filled with concrete for a burrial. There are so many questions that we all would like to be answered but for now I can't write much about it considering they will let us know more this afternoon. For now, I can only say that I am happy they found the body and are doing something about it.
