A Toronto Police news release says Tess Richey was last seen near Church and Wellesley streets at around 3 a.m. on Saturday.

Richey’s body was found near Church and Dundonald streets yesterday afternoon.

Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook told the media there is nothing so far to indicate Richey died under suspicious circumstances, but she said police will be “investigating it as such” until it can be “proved otherwise.”

Today would have been Richey's 23rd birthday.

CBC Toronto is reporting that Richey left the Toronto home of her sister, Rachel Richey, around 11:30 p.m. on Friday for a night out with an old friend from high school.

Rachel Richey said she texted Tess Saturday morning, but when she didn't get a response she figured Tess was sleeping. She grew concerned through the day as her texts and calls remained unanswered.

The family searched Tess's apartment and filed a missing person's report with police.
