Ottawa police have determined there was no foul play involved in the death of a person whose body was found in the south end Wednesday morning.

Police were called to the McCarthy Rd. and Paul Anka Dr. area shortly before 11:00 a.m.

They say a passerby came across the body on a trail near a park area in between town homes.

Police had taped off the scene for a few hours as they investigated.

There is no word yet on the age or gender of the person found.
