Montreal police are awaiting autopsy results on the body of a man believed to be a member of the Mafia, found in a parked SUV in Ahuntsic on Saturday.
Police will not confirm the man's identity, though other media are reporting the dead man is Emilio Cordeleone, a man with Mafia ties, who had reportedly been missing since last Thursday.
The body of the 50-year-old man was found around 9:30 a.m. in a vehicle parked on Sauriol Street.
According to authorities, the victim had serious wounds to the upper body but police would not say if the man had been shot.
This is the 33rd homicide of the year in Montreal.
