Codiac Regional RCMP are looking for a witness to a recent incident outside Lexi’s Lounge in Moncton.
Around 6 a.m. on July 24, a woman fell while walking on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant.
A witness to the accident, who was with the woman when she fell, said a man driving a dark green pickup stopped to check on the woman. He offered the witness and the woman a ride home.
The two accepted and shortly after were dropped off at their destination.
Ambulance New Brunswick and members of the Codiac Regional RCMP responded to a report of a woman in medical distress at a home on Norwood Drive around 7:00 p.m. that day.
The woman was taken to hospital and died two days later.
“This is not a criminal investigation at this time,” said Sgt. Mathieu Roy of the Codiac Regional RCMP said in a news release.
“However, we need to establish the sequence of events that occurred outside the bar so we can determine if it was a factor in the medical episode later that day.”
RCMP are hoping to speak with the man driving the vehicle. He is described as older with a beard.
“You’re not in trouble,” Roy said. “However, we need you to contact us so we can get as much information as possible about what happened.”
Police obtained surveillance video that matched the vehicle, described as a dark green two-door Chevrolet pickup between 2000 and 2006.
Police would also like to speak to anyone who may have been at the intersection of Reade Street and Mountain Road between 5:30am and 6:30am on July 24 and witnessed the incident or may have video footage of the area.
Codiac Regional RCMP are asking those with information to call 506-857-2400 or provide details anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
