The apparent drowning death of a prominent Pakistani dissident in Toronto is provoking suspicion.

Police said they had found 37 year old Karima Mehrab dead yesterday.

Mehrab, widely known as Karima Baloch, had been reported missing a day earlier.

A close friend and fellow activist tells The Canadian Press that Mehrab had recently received death threats.

Her body was pulled from waters near downtown Toronto.

Police in Toronto say they are not treating the apparent drowning death of a prominent Pakistani dissident as suspicious.
