“Despite medical attention from SPS officers, Surrey Fire Service firefighters, BCEHS paramedics, and hospital staff the woman tragically passed away,” says the Surrey Police Service in a news release.
“SPS has informed the IIO of the incident and they have asserted jurisdiction.”
Footage of the scene Thursday shows a Chevron gas station surrounded by police tape. Multiple evidence markers could also be seen on the ground.
The IIO is now investigating the circumstances in the woman’s death, including whether there is a connection between her death and the actions or inactions of officers.
Surrey Police say they are unable to provide additional information while the IIO’s investigation is underway.
Any witnesses who have information regarding this incident are asked to contact the IIO.
