Emergency crews were called to the apartment on Culford Road, just south of Lawrence Avenue West and east of Black Creek Drive, before 3 a.m.
A Toronto paramedics spokesperson told Global News their crews they were called for reports of a stabbing.
Despite their efforts to save the victim’s life, police said the woman — identified as Claudette James — died at the scene.
