An autopsy has determined there is “no evidence to suggest foul play” in the death of a woman who was found in the parking lot of an apartment at 37 Berkeley Place West Sunday morning.

Police and EMS were called to a report of an unresponsive woman on Jan. 29 at 9:45 a.m. A passerby called police.

The 61-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

Lethbridge police initially considered her death suspicious “due to the circumstances, including the location of the body outdoors and no obvious cause of death,” a news release Wednesday said.

An autopsy was completed on Jan. 31 at the Medical Examiner’s Office in Calgary.

Toxicology results are still pending and the police investigation will remain open until those results are received, police said.
