Canada: Woman's severed head found in park

The grim find comes just one day after a human foot was discovered by hikers near the location.

THE SEVERED HEAD of a woman has been found in a park in Ontario, just one day after a human foot was discovered at a nearby location.

Police recovered the head from the Credit river at a park in Mississauga on Thursday, one day after hikers came across a human foot – the toe nails of which had been painted yellow, according to Canada.com.

Investigating officers suspect the body parts belong to the same victim but that has yet to be confirmed, the BBC reports.

Police spokesman Randy Cowan told the media: “Obviously, we consider it as foul play, and we are treating it as such… We’ll be looking for the entire victim.”

The grim discovery comes just a few months after the head of another victim was found in a Montreal park, following a tip from an unidentified source.

The victim, Chinese student Lin Jun, had been killed and dismembered in May.

Canadian porn actor Luka Rocco Magnotta is accused of the murder and dismemberment – and of sending body parts belonging to the victim to the offices of Canada’s top political parties.

    Cian. If you think about the watch you realize that there are many combinations of watch and strap available and desired and it would be impossible for Apple to stock enough in each retail outlet to suit the various requirements the number of customers, they know they will get, will want. This way they take the orders then get the factories in china rolling away, churning them out etc. Apple do not believe in holding any more stock than enough to meet a day or two of anticipated demand, It’s something tim cook engineered many years ago when Steve Jobs returned which was one of the reasons Apple became so profitable.
    Its not artificial, its the way the worlds most profitable company operates

    @William For me it was an upgrade from my nike+ sports band.

    I use it to record runs, walks, hikes, steps and sleep quality.

    I use it to send text messages while taking a dump. I answer phone calls on it while I am driving and for Google maps to alert me of changed travel times and occasionally take calls while away from my phone (walking, hiking etc).

Yes there are better things to spend your money on, but people regularly spend way more on other pointless things.

    I’ve been using a smart watch for about 5 months now, and I can assure you that without the health functionality it would be a completely pointless device. Especially the apple watch, which needs to be tethered to a phone at all times.

    @Jimbo
    That data also has the potential to revolutionise research into human health and will almost certainly lead to new ways of detecting and diagnosing diseases.

A lot of the heavy metals in phones contain a percentage of reclaimed metal who’s origin is untracable.In other words its probably burned out of stuff found on landfills in places like India or Nigeria by 4 and 5 year old kids.
