The Town of Perth is urging residents to avoid the area around Last Duel Park as a police investigation continues.
Officials say the municipality is working closely with emergency services to support the response. Several roads remain closed to allow officers to safely carry out their work.
Closures are in effect on Cole Road between Craig Street and Cockburn Street, Brock Street South from Sherbrooke Street East to Cole Road, and Cockburn Street from Sherbrooke Street East to Cole Road.
Mayor Judy Brown says situations like this can be unsettling, especially when details are limited. She thanked residents for their patience and urged them to follow verified updates from the Ontario Provincial Police East Region.
The Lanark County OPP is leading the investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
