The Ottawa Police Service says the investigation into the discovery of a body along a road in Barrhaven has determined the death is not suspicious.
Emergency crews responded to a report of a deceased person at approximately 10:15 a.m. Monday in the 3100 block of Greenbank Road, at Strandherd Drive.
“All deaths are treated as suspicious until they have been deemed otherwise,” police said.
“This investigation is in the infancy stages and as such no further information will be provided.”
On Tuesday, police told CTV News Ottawa, “we just received an investigation update, the death has been deemed non-suspicious.”
Yellow police tape was blocking a grass area near the intersection of Greenbank Road and Strandherd Drive Monday afternoon.
Police officers remain on the scene along Greenbank Road. The public is being asked to avoid the area while the investigation continues.
