An investigation is currently ongoing regarding a body that was discovered in a garage of a private residence in Lachine Friday evening. Police are deeming it the 19th homicide in Montreal this year.

Comtois said there were marks of violence found on the body, which led the SPVM's major crime section to go to the scene.
