Police said Wednesday that the cause of the woman’s injuries was unknown, and that her death was being treated as suspicious and that investigators with Surrey RCMP’s Serious Crimes Unit were working to trace her movements prior to the time she sustained the injuries.

There is no evidence of an ongoing public-safety risk related to the incident, a news release notes.
