Police were not disclosing many details about the deaths in Ontario, about 20 miles southwest of the city of London, except to say that four vehicles were involved, including a tow truck, and that the dead were all men.

"We're not in a position to reveal how they were murdered," Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Dave Rektor said.

Police found the bodies after a call from the property owner, who is not considered a suspect.

An aerial view showed the vehicles parked within 200 yards of each other, with the bodies still inside.

The Ontario coroner and the attorney general's office declined comment.
