Yellowknife, NWT – Hay River R.C.M.P continue to investigate the death of a 32-year-old woman in between Hay River and West Channel.

Police say her body was found on a public beach last Friday.

We asked R.C.M.P Sergeant Barry Ledoux with the Yellowknife detachment where the investigation goes from here.

“We’ll wait for results from the post-mortem examination and then from there we’ll determine a course of action. If it’s nothing suspicious the file will be concluded and we’ll go from there.”
