The Quebec Coroner’s Office is investigating the tragic death of a 26-year-old Quebec woman who died in Morocco this month after undergoing surgery.

“An investigation is underway into the death of a Quebec woman who died abroad. We do not have more details for the moment,” confirms to the Journal Jake Lamotta Granato, spokesman for the Coroner’s Office.

The canadian authority announced that Dr. Jacques Ramsay will be in charge of the investigation into the death of Florence McConnell, a St. Lambert resident who died this month under unclear circumstances.

Granato also says the young woman’s body was finally repatriated to Quebec this week.

In a message posted on Facebook, Florence McConnell’s father revealed that his daughter died of a “rare medical complication” following the medical intervention.

“This is definitely a tragedy. There are no other words that can describe this situation. The pain of this horrific news was overwhelming and will not be assuaged,” confided Brian D. McConnell.

“I saw you leave for Morocco just 10 days ago, knowing that you were happy and fulfilled, when absolutely everything in your life was on top,” wrote the devoted father.
