The London Police Service’s Major Crime Unit is investigating after a man and woman were found dead Thursday inside a west-end apartment.
Officers responded to the apartment building in the 500 block of Proudfoot Lane around 4 p.m. after the pair were found inside a unit.
One resident from the complex said police were focussing their attention on a small apartment unit on the sixth floor at the rear of the building.
Friends posting on social media identified one of the victims as 30-year-old Tiffany Gates.
