One person is dead and one person is facing a second-degree murder charge as London police investigate a suspicious death.
One person is in custody after police responded to a report of a suspicious death in northeast London Tuesday morning.
Neighbours saw police cars fill the streets around this home on Chippewa Drive around 7:30 a.m.
They say not long after police arrived, a man was taken into custody on the driveway of the home.
London Police Service Sergeant Sandasha Bough told CTV News, "Upon police arrival, an individual was located deceased inside a residence, and an adult male was arrested at the scene."
Those in the area that know the family say four people were living in the home; a mother, father, a child believed to be around seven or eight, and the child's grandmother.
They say the child was escorted from the home by a family member shortly after the arrest was made.
