The body of a Quebec woman missing for nearly a week was discovered in Saint-Jérôme on Tuesday afternoon, according to provincial police.
A citizen alerted authorities after spotting a vehicle that matched a description police had shared with the public.
Linda Vinette, 61, was found inside the car, stationed near a local park. Her death was confirmed at a nearby hospital.
No traces of violence were immediately apparent, according to the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), and her death is not considered suspicious.
A coroner will aid in the investigation.
Vinette, who is from Sainte-Sophie, was last seen alive in Terrebonne last Wednesday, where she had a dentist appointment.
After days of searching, the SQ set up two command posts on Tuesday — one in Terrebonne and the other in Sainte-Sophie — in search of answers.
CTV News spoke to Vinette’s goddaughter a few hours before she was found. Isabelle Theoret described Vinette as a woman who was in excellent health.
