Antigonish County RCMP are investigating the sudden death of a woman in Auld’s Cove.

At approximately 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 27th, Antigonish County RCMP were requested to conduct a well-being check at a residence on highway 104 in Auld’s Cove.

An autopsy was completed yesterday in Halifax and foul play cannot be ruled out at this time. The investigation is ongoing.
