FOG BLOG CANADA LOG: THE BODY OF LINDA BEARDY FOUND IN WINNIPEG LAND FILL!

Woman whose body was found in Winnipeg landfill climbed into bin before it was taken to dump: police Family expresses disappointment after police say foul play not suspected in death of Linda Mary Beardy A 33-year-old woman whose body was found in a Winnipeg landfill on Monday was seen climbing into a commercial garbage bin that same day, and was not seen getting out before the bin was emptied by a garbage truck and taken to the dump, Winnipeg Police Service Chief Danny Smyth said at a Thursday news conference.

Smyth said investigators remain open to pursuing any other information that might come in from the public about Linda Mary Beardy's activity before she was seen getting into the bin, but "right now there is no evidence to support homicide."

"I'll sum up this way: this is a tragedy," Smyth said. "It's garnered a lot of attention and concern across the country. And investigators and WPS personnel, they've worked around the clock to try to find some answers here."

A portion of a statement released late Thursday night attributed to Beardy's family says they are saddened police aren't investigating her death as a homicide.

"We believe that a more fulsome investigation must take place and an opportunity for all tips to be followed up with," the statement from the family reads. "There are many unresolved questions that must be answered."

"We also believe that they have not been transparent in the dissemination of information."

Staff at the city's Brady Road Resource Management Facility discovered Beardy's remains there on Monday afternoon, police said on Tuesday. Police said at that point they considered the circumstances around her death suspicious, but hadn't classified it as a homicide.

An autopsy done Tuesday confirmed she sustained injuries consistent with what would result from being stuck inside a garbage bin as it was handled by a truck, Smyth said.

While there's still no cause of death from the medical examiner, he said none of Beardy's injuries suggest foul play. Toxicology tests will take more time to complete, Smyth said, but "we're satisfied that this is not a homicide."
