Nanaimo RCMP’s Serious Crime Unit says significant information has led them to believe an overdose that claimed the life of a 52-year-old woman to be a homicide. 

Police say Wendy Head died on Mar. 7 at a residence in the 2300-block of Autumnwood Drive and with new leads, significant progress has been made in the investigation and the circumstances surrounding it. 

R/Cst. Gary O’Brien says although police have made advances in the case, they still require more information.

If anyone has more information on Head’s death, contact Nanaimo RCMP’s non-emergency line at 250-745-2345.
