Fort St. James death investigation: Dayna Monk's case handed to major crime unit

CP24 reports that police in northern British Columbia have declared the death of a 30-year-old woman suspicious, after the initial cause was listed as cardiac arrest.

RCMP officers were called to a home in the 400 block of Stuart Drive in Fort St. James on May 31, where they assisted paramedics responding to a reported cardiac arrest. Despite life-saving efforts, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators publicly identified the deceased Wednesday as Dayna Monk. The B.C. RCMP's major crime unit has been leading the investigation since June 10, working to establish a timeline of events and interactions in the days before her death.

RCMP Insp. Robert Kurtz said in a statement that any information, "no matter how insignificant it may seem," could assist investigators in determining the circumstances surrounding her death.

Police are asking anyone with knowledge of Monk's activities or interactions prior to her death to come forward. Tips can be directed to B.C. RCMP investigator Cpl. Michael Lee at 778-290-2563.
