When a man was found dead Thursday from a suspected gunshot wound in a public washroom at the Scarborough Town Centre, cops could not immediately say if he had been murdered.
The victim appeared to have been killed by “potentially a single shot” shortly before 2 p.m. and a firearm was located in the restroom, but nobody in the busy mall near McCowan Rd. and Hwy. 401 had heard a gun go off.
So Toronto Police were only able to say the death was “suspicious.”

But two days later, investigators have now confirmed the 19-year-old was murdered.
The victim has been identified as Daniel Amalathas.
But still no further details have been released about the Toronto man’s death.
