Calgary police trying to determine cause of death for woman found dead

The Calgary Police Service has identified a woman who was found dead in the southeast neighbourhood of Forest Heights earlier this week.

Police said they received reports that a woman’s body was found in the alley behind the 700 block of 40 Street S.E. on Monday at around 9:10 a.m.

An autopsy identified the woman as Brianna Shelby Kristjanson, 25, of Okotoks. Her cause of death remains undetermined as further tests are being conducted.
