2 bodies found in burning vehicles at separate scenes in Etobicoke, Scarborough
Police found a body in each vehicle and say the homicide unit is investigating whether the cases are connected.
On Monday night and early Tuesday, the Toronto Police Service investigated two fatal vehicle fires, with bodies found inside vehicles in Scarborough and Etobicoke.
Crews first responded to a burning vehicle near Reesor Road and Steeles Avenue in Scarborough around 11:22 p.m. Monday; a second vehicle was reported on fire about 90 minutes later in James Gardens Park near Royal York Road and Eglinton Avenue West.
Police have not confirmed the cause of death for either individual, though the homicide unit has been notified. Paramedics also attended the scenes but offered no additional details.
TPS media relations officer Shannon Eames said, "It is too early to determine if both incidents are related, but it will be considered." Authorities are actively investigating potential connections.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police as investigators continue to process evidence from the scenes in the city's northeast and west ends.
