"The search to find her name was greatly aided by family genealogical projects and having that information significantly enhanced our ability to identify her."
A woman who was found dead in Trinity-Bellwoods Park in 2020 has been identified as a result of DNA testing.
Toronto police said officers responded to the park on June 10, 2020 for reports of a woman who was unconscious.
They located a deceased woman who was later determined to have died of natural causes, police said.
She didn’t have any identification with her and no connections were made using her fingerprints or through missing persons reports, police said.
Investigators appealed to the public for help in identifying her and released sketches.
Officers received tips, but none led to her identification, police said.
In early 2021, the DNA Doe Project, an organization that works to name unidentified individuals, approached police regarding the case.
Later that year, the organization received a sample of the woman’s DNA.
