Fairbanks police are investigating the "suspicious death" of a 29-year-old woman on Friday, an officer said.
Around 7 a.m. Friday, the Fairbanks Police Department got word that a female assault victim was being treated at the local hospital, police said.
The woman, 29-year-old Holly Morgan Rae Charlie, was living in Fairbanks and had family in Minto, said officer and police spokesman Doug Welborn. Charlie succumbed to her injuries soon after police arrived at the hospital.
The death was not being classified as a homicide Friday evening. Welborn couldn't speak to whether it was related to domestic violence.
"It's a suspicious death, so that's why the detectives were called in to do some follow-up investigation," Welborn said.
A "person of interest" was located later Friday morning at 310 First Ave., and he was cooperating with police, Welborn said. No other suspects were being sought Friday, he said.
Police declined to comment on where the assault occurred Friday.
"This is a pretty fluid situation, so we're actually still investigating that," Welborn said.
