An autopsy will help determine the cause of death of a woman whose body was found in Sussex, N.B. on the weekend.

The RCMP responded to a report of an unconscious woman near a church parking lot by Fowler Avenue shortly after midnight on Sunday.

Investigators say the 43-year-old Sussex woman was taken to the Sussex Health Centre where she was later pronounced dead.

Police say an autopsy has been scheduled to determine a cause of death, but foul play is not suspected at this time.

The incident remains under investigation.
