RCMP in Swift Current say a woman who was taken into custody Sunday morning died while being transported to hospital.

Mounties there say they attended a wellness check at about 11 .m. on May 5 on South Service Road, and located a woman who they say required medical care.

While in transport by EMS to hospital, the woman went into medical distress and was later pronounced deceased at hospital, according to a release.

The case will be forwarded to the Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team, as is standard in cases of in-custody death.
