The province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) says a woman has died after an incident Monday morning outside of a downtown Toronto residence.
The agency invoked its mandate after a 60-year-old woman, who hasn’t been identified, was found with life-threatening injuries and taken to hospital.
The SIU said Toronto police arrived at a St. Clarens Avenue house at around 4:45 a.m. Monday and a short time later officers found the woman between the house and another home.
Toronto police, who said they can’t comment further since the SIU invoked their mandate, tweeted out at 6:31 a.m. that officers were responding to an “unknown trouble” call near Lansdowne Avenue and College Street. Police said at the time officers found one person “in distress and injured,” adding the circumstances were being investigated.
The SIU is an independent enforcement agency that investigates incidents involving police that have resulted in death, serious injury or alleged sexual assault.
Anyone with information is being asked to call the SIU’s lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529.
