Update: Woman found injured on Clovis street has died, police say. Investigation ongoing

Clovis police on Saturday continued to investigate the death of a woman found lying in the road but have reopened the intersection of McKelvy and Vartikian avenues.

The unidentified woman, who died at the scene, was discovered shortly after 7 a.m.

Ty Wood, Clovis Police Department spokesman, said officers and detectives spent much of the early part of the day on the scene trying to determine how the woman died.

Wood said police have not determined if the woman’s death is suspicious and won’t know the exact cause until an autopsy is done early next week.

“At this time we are investigating the circumstances, but don’t have any additional confirmed information,” Wood said Saturday.

Wood said police heard a few different stories as to how she may have been injured and were canvassing the neighborhood.

Police earlier had cautioned that detectives would be in the area, south of Sierra Avenue and west of Temperance Avenue on the east side of the city, for some time.
