Woman who escaped from Winnipeg’s Eagle Women’s Lodge has died: Correctional Service of Canada

The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) says a woman who escaped custody from a local healing lodge earlier this month has died while on the run.

Nikki Alfonso, 31, got out of the multi-level Eagle Women’s Lodge around 10 p.m. on Aug. 2, the CSC previously reported.

In a release this week, the CSC said Alfonso “died while unlawfully at large” Aug. 18.

The CSC didn’t say how Alfonso died, but did offer condolences to her family.
