30-Year-Old Woman’s Death in Fort St. James Deemed Suspicious, RCMP Investigating

The B.C. RCMP’s Major Crime Unit is investigating the death of a 30-year-old woman in Fort St. James as suspicious. The woman has been identified as Dayna Monk, and investigators are appealing to the public for information that could assist with the case.

According to Fort St. James RCMP, emergency health services were called to a home in the 400-block of Stuart Drive on May 31 following reports that a woman was experiencing cardiac arrest. Despite resuscitation efforts, the woman could not be saved.

Initial investigations did not indicate any criminal involvement in her death. However, following the results of an autopsy, police determined that the circumstances were suspicious, prompting the Major Crime Unit to take over the investigation.

Investigators are now working to determine the circumstances surrounding Monk’s death and are asking anyone with relevant information to come forward.
