Calgary police say the death of a woman found in an intersection in Bowness early Monday morning was domestic in nature.
Emergency crews were called to the intersection of 34 Avenue and 79 Street N.W. just after 6 a.m. after getting a report of a woman lying unconscious in the road.
The woman, who was in her 30s, was taken to hospital with critical, life-threatening injuries, where she later died.
A man has been arrested in relation to the death, which investigators are calling “suspicious.”
