The Toronto police homicide unit is investigating the death of a woman in her 20s who was found injured inside a vehicle in the west end on Friday evening.

According to Toronto paramedics, the woman was suffering from critical injuries. Watson said the woman was pronounced dead in the hospital. The woman’s identity has not been released.

When asked about the nature of the victim’s injuries, Watson said it was still very early in the investigation, and police did not have those details yet.
