Woman's torso found at Niagara Falls
A WOMAN'S torso found floating near the base of the Niagara Falls was likely in the water for up to 10 days, and the victim was murdered, police said Friday, as the discovery of a homicide victim's remains in a waterway made headlines in Canada for the second time in recent weeks.
Police said this case is not related to body parts found in Toronto earlier in August.
In Niagara Falls, Constable Derek Watson said a tourist spotted a torso near the base of the Falls on Wednesday and police found the body past the Rainbow Bridge.
Niagara Police Inspector Jim McCaffrey said the woman was a murder victim, but did not reveal the cause of death. McCaffrey said authorities have asked police in New York and Ontario to review missing person files.
Police are asking for help in identifying the body. A preliminary post-mortem indicated the torso belonged to a white woman between 20 and 40 years old and had a pierced navel and at least one cesarean section scar.
McCaffrey said it's not uncommon to find body parts in the Niagara River. "That's pretty fast moving water and it does have an effect on bodies in the water," he said.
An emergency task unit is among teams being called on to search for the rest of the woman's remains.
Police said the body is not connected to murder victim Liu Guanghua, whose head, foot and hands were discovered in a river west of Toronto earlier. A few days later, her calves, a thigh and an arm were found in a creek in eastern Toronto. Her torso remains missing.
