The Montreal police arson squad is investigating after the body of a 58-year-old woman was found following a kitchen fire Monday morning.
The flames broke out at about 11:00 A.M. in an apartment on Guimond St. near Letourneux Ave.
Firefighters managed to extinguish the minor blaze quickly but discovered the woman's body while conducting a further inspection.
An autopsy will determine if the woman died while cooking or if her death was caused after the fire broke out.
