OPP vehicles were parked Friday at a home at 4022 Wardell Dr., about 10 kilometers north of Strathroy.

An officer at the scene declined to comment on the investigation.

An officer was taking photos with a camera at the end of a long driveway leading to a home, and yellow police tape had been tied to railings on steps at the front entrance.

A neighbor who lived next door said police were at the home on Thursday night but declined further comment.

OPP said the office of the chief coroner and the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service are assisting in the investigation.
