Police investigating suspicious deaths of 2 people in downtown Sherbrooke, Que.
Man found in critical condition outside while woman's body found inside a residence, police say
Quebec provincial police are investigating the deaths of a man and a woman after they were found badly injured in downtown Sherbrooke, Que., in the early hours of Sunday.
Local police were called to Ball Street around 2 a.m. by a passerby after they found a severely injured man, 38, outside. While police were erecting a perimeter around the site, they discovered a 32-year-old woman who was unconscious inside a residence.
Both were transported to hospital where the woman was declared dead shortly after. The man succumbed to his injuries a few hours later.
The investigation has been transferred to the provincial police force, the Sûreté du Québec (SQ).
SQ spokesperson Louis-Philippe Ruel says they established what the relationship was between the two victims but would not share what they found.
Ruelle says the deaths are suspicious and that the area around the intersection of Camirand and Ball streets has been cordoned off.
