Police are expected to provide an update Thursday afternoon into the death of a woman who was found badly injured on a northeast Calgary pathway earlier this year.
Calgary police say just before 4 a.m. Monday a passerby found a woman believed to be in medical distress on the Nose Creek Pathway near 32 Avenue NE.
She was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition where she later died.
The victim has been identified as 23-year-old Calgary resident Jelisa Maschki.
Police say an autopsy was completed Thursday morning and homicide investigators are still not sure whether she was the victim of “an assault or a tragic accident.”
“Although we are only a few days into this investigation, we currently have very limited evidence and are relying on the public to help put the pieces together,” says Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson of the CPS Homicide Unit.
“We are exploring all possibilities in this case with the hopes of providing answers for Jelisa’s loved ones.”
Anyone who believes they saw any suspicious activity along the Nose Creek Pathway in the early morning hours of Monday, or who was in recent contact with the victim is asked to contact police at 403-266-1234 or tip anonymously through CrimeStoppers.
