Ontario’s police watchdog is investigating the death of a 41-year-old Cambridge woman.

The Special Investigations Unit said Waterloo Regional Police were called to the Satellite Motel on Hespeler Road on Sunday at 3:45 a.m.

When officers arrived, they performed CPR on the woman and administered naloxone, which reduces the effects of an overdose.
