An investigation is underway into the death of a 27-year-old Wetaskiwin woman who was found injured in September and later died.

Wetaskiwin RCMP were called to a home in the area of 49 Avenue and 53 Street on September 26 around 1:30 a.m. They responded to find the woman with a serious head injury lying outside the home.

The woman was taken to the hospital, but died from her injuries on September 29. The RCMP Major Crimes Unit then took over the investigation. 

An autopsy was done on October 2, and RCMP said they continue to work with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to determine the manner of the victim’s death.
