An undetermined death in southeast Calgary is believed to be non-criminal, according to Calgary Police Service.

According to a preliminary autopsy, the body found in a waste container in the southeast neighbourhood of Ramsay is that of a woman in her 30s. Further testing is required to determine the cause and manner of death, but the death is neither criminal nor suspicious, CPS said in a press release on Tuesday.

This comes after police found the woman’s body at around 11:50 a.m. last Friday in a waste container on the 700 block of 24 Avenue S.E. At the time, police said the death is considered undetermined and the homicide unit will be a part of the investigation.

The woman had dark, short hair and was wearing dark clothing with a North Face winter jacket at the time of her death. She was also carrying a red sleeping bag.
