Montreal police are investigating after a woman was found dead during a wellness check in the Ville-Marie borough Wednesday afternoon.
Radio-Canada sources say the woman’s death is being investigated as a homicide related to intimate partner violence. Sources also say a suspect in the case turned himself in to provincial police at the Montreal airport — saying he killed his partner.

On the scene, police found a woman with upper body injuries.
Urgence-santé paramedics performed CPR, but the woman was declared dead at the scene.
