The death of a woman at a Saskatoon apartment was not caused by carbon monoxide poisoning.
The body of the 41-year-old woman was found Wednesday morning in a suite of the building in the 300-block of Avenue R South.
Saskatoon police said an autopsy also determined her death was not criminal in nature.

The investigation into her death will now be handled by the coroner’s office.
Testing by the Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD) found the carbon monoxide level to be 150 ppm (parts per million) in the building.
The building was evacuated under SFD policy that requires such action at 50 ppm.
The cause of the elevated carbon monoxide levels were caused by a deteriorated boiler and chimney.
Fire department officials said the boiler and chimney cannot be used until adequate repairs are made or upgrades completed.
