Manitoba's Independent Investigation Unit is investigating the death of a female following her arrest by RCMP.
Last Wednesday at about 8 pm, officers responded to a 9-1-1 hang-up at a home in Vogar, which is south of The Narrows.
Once they arrived, they arrested a woman that they learned was under the influence of drugs, and had tried to use a weapon on someone else in the home.
As police were transporting the female to Lakeshore General Hospital in Ashern for a medical assessment, one officer noticed that the woman had become unresponsive.
Emergency care was provided to the woman by RCMP until an ambulance arrived to transport her to Ashern, and then to St Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, where she was pronounced dead on Thursday.
Her death prompted the automatic investigation by IIU.
