Officers from 52 Division found the body of Cassandra Do after responding to a call from the apartment building at about p. An autopsy yesterday concluded the cause of death was strangulation. Do was a male-to-female transsexual, meaning she lived her life and answered identification questions as a woman while she awaited therapy to complete the sex change. She was a prostitute in the Church Street area. Police said Ms. Do went by the name Tula. They said they don't believe she actually walked the streets and solicited, but attracted her clients through a Web site and an advertisement in the back pages of a Toronto weekly newspaper.
Sanson said that police were investigating whether she was killed by one of her clients. Alison Kemper, executive director of the Church Street Community Centre, said that she hoped, for the sake of the transgendered community in the neighbourhood, that the murder will prove to be random or directed specifically at Ms.
Kemper said. Sanson said that police had no evidence yet to suggest the murder was a hate crime, and stressed that police are looking for leads in the area. They want to find out whether Ms. Do had a specific meeting in mind Monday night. Sanson said. This is a space where subscribers can engage with each other and Globe staff.
