PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — British Columbia's police watchdog is investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a woman in Prince George last weekend.
The Independent Investigations Office says RCMP officers responded to a report at 10:08 p.m. of a disturbance at a home on Saturday.
The RCMP say they were able to find one individual believed to be associated with the complaint, but they could not find a female victim.
The Mounties say they searched and were informed at 10:28 p.m. that a woman had been found in medical distress in the same area.
The RCMP say the unnamed woman was taken to hospital, where she died.
The Independent Investigations Office says its initial focus will determine if there is a connection between the woman's death and "actions or inactions" of officers.
The office is an independent civilian team that investigates all cases involving police where death or serious harm has occurred.
