The Estevan Police Service has launched an investigation into what it is describing as a suspicious death in the city.
The EPS announced via press release Tuesday morning that the death occurred Monday night and that a post mortem was underway.
In an interview Tuesday morning, Chief Paul Ladouceur said the deceased, who was discovered at a residence on Petterson Drive, was a female in her late 20s.
"It's being investigated as a suspicious death and we are moving forward with the investigation, and until we have more from the results of the post mortem, we really can't comment because we need those results before we can confirm the actual cause of death," Ladouceur said.
Asked if the EPS had anyone in custody, Ladouceur said he couldn't comment on that to protect the integrity of the investigation.
"There will be more information forthcoming, the investigation is progressing very well and rapidly."
The results of the post mortem were not available before Tuesday's press deadline. For updates as they become available see our website estevanmercury.ca
