A suspect has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of a 65-year-old whose body was found in a lake east of Toronto over the weekend.

Ontario Provincial Police were called to Sturgeon Lake, near Fenelon Falls, on Sunday morning on reports that a body had been discovered.

An autopsy was conducted and the deceased has been identified as Shirley Hatley, of Sault Ste. Marie.

Police initially considered the incident a suspicious death but now say it is being treated as a homicide.

A suspect, 56-year-old Norman May of Bruce Mines, Ont., appeared in court for a bail hearing earlier this week and was remanded into custody.

Police say the investigation continues.
