Personal tragedy in a public space: Police investigate body found on Wellington Street
CTV
For the second time this week members of the public have been confronted with personal tragedy with a body discovered on the front lawn along a high-traffic London commuter route.
Emergency responders were called to 140 Wellington Street around 7 a.m. Thursday.
That’s where they found the body of a man on the front lawn of the property, located just north of Hill Street on the east side of Wellington.
They quickly established that the individual had no vital signs and had likely been that way for some time.
London police started an investigation closing off one of Wellington Street’s two northbound lanes that lead into the downtown.
The lane remained closed for much of the morning commute.
On Tuesday, in an unrelated event, a body was found by a staff member inside a vehicle on the Piccadilly Motors lot at the corner of Maitland and York.
