Sounds like it was on the escarpment beside the Provigo / Rose Bowl. There are or were a couple of homeless guys who lived on the slope right near there.
The escarpment closer to Windsor Station is interesting. Lots of “urban camper” types, and no shortage of historic structural ruins to check out. I must revisit the footpath along the base of the Falaise one of these days. I hope all the highway and rail works haven’t changed it too much.
The rail works have changed it greatly. There are now at least 4 sets of tracks through there as well as a dirt service road for (CP?). I had to cross them a month or two ago. I walked up Angrignon from Ville Emard only to discover that after you cross the 20 and get to the roadway that leads up to St. Jacques the sidewalk disappears and you’re at a pedestrian dead end. Seeing as I had 2 dogs with me and turning around would mean a 5 km detour I scooted across the roadway, crossed many RR tracks and bushwhacked up the falaise to St. Jacques. This would have been a couple hundred metres from where the remains were found.

I was about to add a second link where it says a city blue collar worker found the remains around 9:30 last night, near the tracks beside the 20.

Kate, I really hope that that is a typo…. ATE vs ARE?
