By Laura Steiner, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, The Milton Reporter

The Halton Police, in collaboration with the Office of the Chief Coroner for Ontario, are actively investigating a suspicious sudden death that occurred in the early morning hours of Saturday, January 20, 2024, in the Town of Oakville. The incident unfolded at approximately 6:30 am when a 20-year-old female was discovered in medical distress outside Sunningdale Public School at 1434 Oxford Avenue.

Emergency services swiftly transported the victim to the hospital, where she was later pronounced deceased. Detectives are currently delving into the circumstances leading to the victim’s presence outside the school. They meticulously examine video surveillance sources from Oxford Avenue and Miller Road in Oakville.

Out of respect for the victim and in response to the family’s request, investigators are withholding the victim’s name at this time.

Authorities are urging anyone with information about the incident or individuals seen outside Sunningdale Public School between 1:30 am and 6:30 am on Saturday, January 20, 2024, to come forward and assist investigators in piecing together the events surrounding this tragic occurrence.
