Police in Longueuil have launched a major investigation following the discovery of a woman's body in a residential apartment on Saturday morning, an incident they are treating as suspicious.
Body Discovered on Quinn Street
Officers from the Service de police de l’agglomération de Longueuil (SPAL) were called to a residence on Quinn Street around 10 a.m. on Saturday, December 6, 2025. Upon arrival, they found the body of a 56-year-old woman. Police have not released her identity, pending notification of next of kin.
Arrest Made at the Scene
In a significant development, SPAL confirmed that a person who was present at the scene has been taken into custody. This individual is expected to be formally questioned by investigators later. Authorities have not disclosed the nature of the relationship between the arrested person and the deceased woman.
Forensic Investigation Underway
The police investigations division, supported by a forensic identification team, has secured the apartment as a crime scene. The area remains cordoned off as experts work meticulously to gather evidence and piece together the circumstances that led to the woman's death.
SPAL's initial statement described the case as a "suspicious death," which is a standard classification prompting a thorough criminal investigation. The case has drawn significant attention to the quiet Quinn Street neighbourhood in Longueuil, a city on Montreal's South Shore.
Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses and police complete their preliminary forensic analysis and interviews.
