Homicide detectives say there has been ‘significant development' in disappearance of Hamilton woman
Homicide detectives say there has been a 'significant development' in the investigation into the disappearance of 40-year-old Hamilton woman Shalini Singh, who was last seen in December. New details of the investigation are expected to be revealed at a news conference on Monday morning. Last month, investigators announced that partial human remains were discovered at a landfill site where investigators were searching for Singh's body. The discovery was made after months of combing through thousands of cubic metres of waste at the Glanbrook Landfill. At that time, investigators said it could take several weeks to determine if the human remains belong to Singh, who was last heard from at around 7:10 p.m. on Dec. 4 and reported missing by her family on Dec. 10, 2024. Police previously said the case was quickly assigned to the homicide unit in December based on 'emerging evidence and concern for her wellbeing.' Det.-Sgt. Daryl Reid told reporters last month that 'extensive' video surveillance footage from Singh's building showed that she returned to her unit but was never spotted leaving the building again. 'As the investigation progressed, we began to consider the possibility that Shalini may have been disposed and removed from the building by way of the garbage disposal system,' Reid said. He would not confirm if Singh's boyfriend is a suspect in her disappearance, but noted he has not cooperated with the probe. In the early days of the investigation, police were initially searching for both Singh and her boyfriend, but the man was located on Dec. 11 after police said he'd been visiting a family member outside of Hamilton. 'When we get the confirmation back from (the Centre for Forensic Sciences), that will progress our investigation to the next level,' Reid said in May. The news conference is scheduled to be held at 10 a.m. and will be streamed live on the CTV News App, and the CP24 App.

Excavator damages Scarborough Scotiabank in possible break-in attempt: police
An excavator damaged a Scotiabank and wrecked a neighbouring building in Scarborough on Monday in what police say appears to be an attempted break and enter. The incident happened overnight at a plaza near Port Union Road and Fanfare Avenue. Officers responded to reports of heavy machinery into a bank around 2:50 a.m., Toronto police spokesperson Laurie McCann said in an email Monday. When officers arrived, the machine was still there but suspects had already taken off, she said. The suspects did not gain entry to the bank, McCann said. There were no injuries. Police are still on scene on Monday, she said. Images from the plaza on Monday appear to show the excavator lodged in the roof of the bank. The roof is partially caved in, with significant debris scattered on the ground. McCann said another building was damaged in the incident.

Family feels 'a lot of peace' after woman receives end-of-life aquamation service in Manitoba
The family of a woman who recently became the second person in Manitoba to have a water cremation said they feel at peace knowing that they could give her the burial she wanted just weeks after it became available in the province. Elizabeth Crossley said her mother, Elizabeth Crossley Sr., had been talking about alkaline hydrolysis — or aquamation — since she first heard about it a few years ago. Instead of traditional fire cremation, aquamation is an eco-friendly alternative that uses a hot water and alkali solution to break down the body's proteins and sugars, speeding up the natural decomposition process until only the bones remain. Crossley said her mother was instantly drawn to the process and started discussing it with family, friends and medical providers. "I guess she identified more with the water process. She loved water and I guess her soul just liked the idea of that better," Crossley said. "I feel a lot of peace knowing we could give her what she wanted." When Crossley's mother died a few weeks ago at the age of 65, the service had just become available in Manitoba. Had her mother died sooner, Crossley said the family would have had to travel out of province to ensure she received the end-of-life care she wanted. Saskatchewan was the first Canadian province to legalize aquamation in 2012, followed by Ontario in 2014. Headingley-based funeral and aquamation services company Tillwell Inc. got its final licence approvals to start operating just a few weeks ago. It is the first and only company in Manitoba to offer the service. "Had she died three weeks sooner, we would have been shipping her to Saskatchewan to have it done. So good timing, I guess," Crossley said. Crossley Sr. was just the second person to have an aquamation service in Manitoba. "Death is a personal experience and people ought to choose the form of final disposition that means the most to them," said Dwayne Till, CEO and founder of Tillwell. Till said aquamation is a "much gentler, way less energy intensive" process compared to traditional flame cremation that uses machines that run at up to 1,000 C for several hours. Till said the deceased person's body is put inside a hot water tank, where the alkali-water solution is heated to just under 100 C and circulated over the body for about 18 hours, using propellers in the back of the tank. The fluid is then sent through the sewage system, where it is treated. "You can actually repurpose some of the fluid that's left behind," Till said, adding he would eventually like to see it used by local farmers as a natural fertilizer, if provincial regulators allow. The bones are then dried and processed into a powder and returned to the deceased's loved ones, much like ashes after flame cremation. Except this powder — or "mineral remains," as Till's company calls them — has a neutral pH level and is safe to return to the earth. aquamation with a tree ceremony and burial. Crossley's family decided on a tree ceremony. "My mom, she always said she wanted to be a tree," Crossley said.
