Quebec City police say the death of a woman who was found unresponsive after a house fire over the weekend has been ruled a homicide.
Police say 42-year-old Joëlle Lapointe was killed and the exact cause of death will be determined after investigators receive autopsy results.
Lapointe was found unresponsive in the basement of a semi-detached home in the provincial capital’s Loretteville sector around 2:30 a.m. Sunday.
First responders were unable to revive her and she was declared dead on site.
Fire commissioner investigators deemed the blaze suspect and contacted police.
