<\/p>\nA joint police investigation is underway into the suspicious deaths of two Ottawa residents, one who was found dead in a Lowertown home Saturday and another who died in a crash in western Quebec.<\/p>\n
At around 12:30 a.m., officers with the S\u00fbret\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec (SQ) responded to a fatal single-vehicle collision on Highway 50 near Montebello, Que.<\/p>\n
The provincial police force told Radio-Canada that a man in his 30s lost control of his vehicle, hit a guardrail and then crashed into a concrete wall.<\/p>\n
The man’s injuries were “suspicious,” according to a media release Saturday night from the Ottawa Police Service (OPS).<\/p>\n
He was taken to hospital and died soon after, OPS said.<\/p>\n

The SQ asked for help with their investigation, leading Ottawa police to visit a home on Guigues Avenue just after 11 a.m., the news release said.<\/p>\n
When officers went inside, they found a second dead person, Ottawa police said.<\/p>\n
The force’s homicide unit is now leading the investigation.<\/p>\n
OPS did not share any details about how the deaths might be connected, aside from that they are both suspicious and involved Ottawa residents.<\/p>\n
Their names are also not being released as family are still being notified, OPS said.<\/p>\n
People should expect an increased police presence around Guigues Avenue as officers collect evidence and speak to witnesses, the force said.<\/p>\n
There is no threat to public safety, they added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A joint police investigation is underway into the suspicious deaths of two Ottawa residents, one who was found…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":179772,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[12093,27472,61,615,3443,56881,3930,56690],"class_list":["post-179771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ottawa","tag-fatal-crash","tag-ops","tag-ottawa","tag-ottawa-police-service","tag-police-investigation","tag-provincial-police-force","tag-surete-du-quebec","tag-suspicious-deaths"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179771"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179771\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
