Police say the victims were found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead, and investigators have no outstanding suspects.
On Monday, Toronto Police Service officers responded to Providence Healthcare near Warden Avenue and St. Clair Avenue East around 12:30 p.m., where two people were found dead with gunshot wounds in a parking lot.
Investigators believe the victims, a man and a woman, were married. The homicide unit is investigating the deaths, and police confirmed there are no outstanding suspects in the case.
Duty senior officer Scott Shutt stated the female victim was a patient at Providence Healthcare. "It happened behind me here in a large parking lot," Shutt said, urging witnesses to contact police.
