Toronto police remain tight-lipped about the circumstances surrounding the latest death in the city, although they do say they have tracked down a vehicle believed to be connected to the death.
A man was found dead inside a business in an industrial area of Scarborough on Wednesday afternoon.
Police say they were called to the building at 1970 Ellesmere Rd., just after 3 p.m.
The body of the man was found inside the building. A woman was also inside, but police say she was not injured.
The woman has been taken in for questioning.
No names have been released.
Homicide detectives and the coroner are investigating. So far they have not said how the man died.
Police are also searching for two suspects seen driving a vehicle that was seen leaving the area.
Const. Wendy Drummond said police were seeking a white Mercedes SUV with an Ontario licence plate.
The vehicle was found at Bayview Village about five hours later, but police say they have not taken anyone into custody.
