An investigation is underway after a man's body was found Wednesday afternoon in Montérégie, Que., near the Roxham Road crossing point between Canada and the U.S.
The man was a migrant, a police source confirmed to CTV News, who said his death is considered "suspicious."
Roxham Road is an unofficial border crossing site used frequently by asylum seekers heading into Canada through the U.S.
The body was spotted around 2:45 p.m. by American border agents patrolling the area by helicopter.
According to provincial police (SQ), the body was found deep in a wooded area in St-Bernard-de-Lacolle, meaning it had to be airlifted out.
No one was near when the man was discovered.
The man's migrant status has not been officially confirmed by the SQ.
