Toronto homicides detectives are investigating what could be an 80-year-old murder mystery after a mummified infant wrapped in a 1925 newspaper was found in the wall of an east-end home.
Renovator Bob Kinghorn made the grisly discovery Tuesday night at the home on Kintyre Avenue, near Broadview Avenue and Queen Street East.
Kinghorn, who lives two doors away from the three-storey, semi-detached home, was about to drill a hole through a ceiling joist for wiring when he noticed a bundle of newspaper.
He first thought it was insulation in the second-floor bedroom of the empty home.
"I pushed on it, just trying to guess what was in the package before I opened it and I felt the bones," Kinghorn told reporters outside the home.
