A suspicious death overnight in the Stanley Park area of Kitchener is under investigation, according to Waterloo Regional Police.
They say that emergency services responded to a call for help at a home near Thaler and Kinzie avenues.
When they arrived at the home, police found the body of a 39-year-old woman.
“There will be an increased police presence in the area as investigators conduct a canvass of the neighbourhood for witnesses and information into the circumstances that led to the death,” police noted.
A police spokesperson told Global New that there was no connection between this investigation and a shooting death which occurred in a nearby parking lot a few hours later.
They are asking anyone with information to call the major crime unit at 519-570-9777 ext. 8191 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
