The Sûreté du Québec will resume an investigation into a possible homicide after the body of a man was found Saturday morning in a wooded area at the base of Mont-St-Hilaire.
An ATV rider spotted the body near the corner of Rouillard and Authier Streets at around 7:30. Richelieu St-Laurent police officers responding to the call arrived and discovered the victim's body had been "marked with violence" and transferred the file to the SQ.
Police did not disclose the nature of the injuries and would not say how long the body may have been in the woods.
The investigation had to be suspended late Saturday due to darkness.
