Story summary

Toronto police are investigating two separate incidents involving the discovery of bodies inside burning vehicles, one on Monday night and another early Tuesday morning. The first body was found just before 11:30 p.m. in a vehicle near Reesor Road and Steeles Avenue in the northeast corner of Toronto, close to Rouge National Urban Park. Around 90 minutes later, at approximately 12:55 a.m., another body was discovered in James Garden Park in Etobicoke.

The first victim has been identified as Marcus Charles, aged 32, while the second is Mohamud Kheyre, 30.

The investigation remains open to determine if there is a connection between these deaths.
