NIAGARA FALLS (NEWS1130) – A woman’s torso has reportedly been recovered from the lower Niagara River, near the Rainbow Bridge.
The Niagara Falls Review reported citizens spotted the body floating in the river at around 2 p.m. Wednesday and alerted authorities.
The body was sent to Hamilton General Hospital for an autopsy, where it was determined the woman was a homicide victim.
However, Peel police have already confirmed that this development is not connected to their investigation of the murder of Guang Hua Lui, whose remains were found in a river in Mississauga and a creek in Toronto.
“Police investigators and forensic experts have been able to positively confirm that this incident is not related to the Peel police investigation involving the murder of Guang Hua Liu of Scarborough,” Niagara police said in a release.
In this new case, the victim is a middle-aged Caucasian female, with a pierced navel.
