Title: Police at Riverwood this afternoon?
Post by: BirdNerd on June 16, 2011, 05:26:58 PM

Hey all!
I was just over at Riverwood park to check on the Cooper's Hawk nest, and couldn't go down to the parking lot by the Burnhamthorpe/ Culham trail (you know, the one down the hill on the left when you turn into the park?). The road down to it was blocked by a police cruiser, and when I was leaving the park, I noticed another cruiser on the south side of Burnhamthorpe by the bridge. Anyone know what's up?

Hopefully not another suicide.   :(

Did you happen to notice any yellow tarp?

Exactly my thought...
(I stuck to Erindale park today, so didn't see)

I was there at 8:30am.The police were there then, but didn't block anything off till about  9:30 am and were still there when I left at 4:00pm.
I was talking to some of the K-9 guys.
They asked me if I had seen anything because I had been there so long. Evertime they walked by me I was staring up in a tree.
I told them if it wasn't anything hopping around on a branch, then I hadn't seen it.  :wink:
One guy told me they were looking for "a guy"
"Nope, no guy"  I said
Being nosy I of course asked what I should be looking for if I saw "a guy"
The K-9 guy said "depressd guy, so he probably isn't far"
I took that to mean suicide.
But if it was, the guy was good, because when I left in the afternoon, they were still looking for him, and there were alot of cops there. Last count was 15 cruisers in the lower parking lot, and a bunch more on the Burnhamthorpe bridge.


That's all the gossip I have to contribute on that matter.
