The coroner identified the victim as Ljubica Milicevic Vukobradovic of Montreal.

A local resident was performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the woman when first responders arrived.

She was transported to hospital with a serious head injury and passed away a day later.

A spokesman for the coroner says an investigation led by Dr. Mylène Servant will aim to establish the causes and circumstances surrounding the death.
