91Ô­´´ RCMP say the body found in a dumpster last Friday is that of a 34-year-old 91Ô­´´ woman.

The woman’s body was discovered in a dumpster behind a 91Ô­´´ City mall Friday, Oct. 20.

Her family has been notified, said 91Ô­´´ RCMP Cpl. Craig Van Herk.

The serious crime section continues to investigate. An autopsy was expected to be completed this week.

Just before 6 a.m. on Oct. 20, the 91Ô­´´ City fire department called RCMP after they found the woman’ body while extinguishing a dumpster fire behind the Bombay furniture store at 20150 91Ô­´´ Bypass.

The woman was living in 91Ô­´´ at the time of her death but it’s not known at this point where she is from, said police.

This confirms what police said originally, that this isn’t Kristina Ward, 20, who has been missing from downtown 91Ô­´´ since Sept 27.

More information is expected this week.
