Toronto police have charged a 20-year-old man with murder after a man's body was found overnight near Highway 401 and McCowan Road.
Police found the victim lying in a ditch on the west side of McCowan Road near the on-ramp to the highway at about 2 a.m. Sunday.
A news release from police says the man "was located with apparent injuries to the chest."
He was pronounced dead at the scene, and is believed to be in his 20s.
Police have not released the victim’s name yet as they are still trying to reach his next of kin.
