Thunder Bay is up to 4 now. A death in the north end over the weekend was declared homicide yesterday. Police are trying to piece together what happened with information from the public and patchy personal surveillance camera coverage in the area.
There may be a fifth homicide; a body found in the river over the weekend is still unidentified and police haven't said anything about the cause of death. They released a photo of the body to see if anyone can help identify them. They claim the race of the deceased is "not known". The area is a popular hangout for drunks and drug users, so it's probably (but not necessarily certain) that the person was one of them.
