Human Head Found in Rivière des Prairies Shocks Montréal-Nord
This past Sunday afternoon, a disturbing discovery was made along the Rivière des Prairies, near Montréal-Nord. Police officers from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal, or SPVM, were called to the scene after a report came in around 3 p.m. about what appeared to be a human body part floating near the shoreline. Once authorities arrived, a grim confirmation was made: it was a human head.
At this point, investigators have confirmed the victim is a man, though his identity and age remain undisclosed. The circumstances around this discovery are still unclear. Police have not yet determined whether this case involves a criminal act, an accident, or something else entirely. Because of that uncertainty, a perimeter was quickly set up, and forensic identification teams were deployed to examine the area.

The location of the find, close to Avenue Drapeau and near the Pie-IX Bridge, became the center of a large police operation throughout the evening. A command post was set up, and officers combed through the site, carefully searching for evidence. Neighbors who passed by were stunned to see such a heavy police presence in what is usually a quiet and family-oriented area. One local resident admitted that the scene felt unsettling, remarking that this kind of situation is rare for the neighborhood, which is better known for its riverside paths and calm atmosphere.
Others, however, pointed out that tragic events along the river are not unheard of. Over the years, people have occasionally drowned in those waters, and bodies have been recovered by authorities. Yet, the discovery of a severed head stands apart—it feels far more disturbing and raises darker questions. Some longtime residents said the unusually long police operation immediately signaled that something out of the ordinary had been found.
The SPVM has kept details limited for now, emphasizing that it is still far too early to reach conclusions. Specialists are expected to analyze the remains and determine how long the head may have been in the water. Reports suggest it could have been there for over twenty-four hours before being noticed.
For now, the investigation is being treated as a death of unknown origin. Police are working to uncover whether this is tied to criminal activity or if there is another explanation. Until then, Montréal-Nord is left uneasy, with residents questioning how something so shocking could happen in their community.
The case is still open, and the SPVM is asking anyone who may have noticed unusual activity near the river to come forward. While answers may take time, what is certain is that this discovery has cast a shadow over an otherwise quiet corner of Montréal.
