The body of a woman was found in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough late last night.
Montreal police received a call at around 10:30, after a passerby spotted the victim in a ditch off of Highway 19 near the corner of Gouin Boulevard and Lambert. Police spokeswoman Caroline Chevrefils says the woman is between the ages of 45 and 60 and was wearing a bike helmet.
An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.
Chevrefils says police do not believe foul play was a factor but the investigation is still ongoing.
