According to TVA Nouvelles, it is a woman. When paramedics arrived overnight from Wednesday to Thursday, the woman in her 60s was in critical condition. Despite the care provided on site, the lady was found dead at the scene.
The spokesperson for Urgences-santé, Benjamin Dansereau, indicates that the paramedics were called to intervene around 1 a.m. at the intersection of rue Saint-Denis and boulevard de Maisonneuve Est, very close to the Berri metro station. -UQAM
Mr. Dansereau was unable to indicate the exact cause of his death. However, any act of a criminal nature is ruled out from the outset.
