Peel Regional Police say a male has been found dead in a shed that was on fire in a backyard in Brampton on Thursday afternoon.
Emergency crews were called to a home on Aloma Crescent at around 3:45 p.m. after reports of a shed on fire.
Crews doused the fire, and a male was later found deceased inside the shed, police confirmed.
In an update, Peel police Cst. Tyler Bell said the deceased person has not yet been identified.
Bell added that the Ontario Fire Marshal will be attending the scene, and said the death is being treated as suspicious until proven otherwise.
