Montreal police have taken over the investigation of the death, which occurred while Surete du Quebec officers were executing a search warrant for a house on rue Principale in the course of an investigation into a drug network. Just before midnight, the woman showed up at the home. Police searched her and found drugs, but when they tried to arrest her she fell unconscious for unknown reasons, Montreal police said. Officers and paramedics performed CPR to no avail, and the woman was pronounced dead in a Valleyfield hospital a few hours later. An autopsy will be performed tomorrow, at the earliest, said Montreal police Constable Robert Mansueto. Toxicology tests could take several weeks, he added. A man and a woman were arrested at the residence on rue Principale the night of the drug raid, police said. The SQ provided no information yesterday about possible charges against the pair. - --- MAP posted-by: Steve Heath
