A woman who police thought had been assaulted May 4, has died. However, police now say she was not assaulted.
“After many hours of investigation, our Serious Crime Unit has determined the woman’s injuries were not the result of a criminal act and in fact were related to a medical issue,” said Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP. “Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of the victim.”
The woman was discovered unconscious at a residence in the 1600-block of Ingledew Street shortly after 6 a.m. on May 4 and was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Unfortunately, she did not survive the injuries and passed away in the hospital several days later.
The B.C. Coroners Service retains conduct of this investigation.
