Three months after the suspicious death of Austyn Godfrey, no arrests have been made.

Cpl. Tammy Lobb of the Kelowna RCMP told Capital News that there is no update on the Godfrey investigation.

ѻýHer death is still being investigated as suspicious,ѻý said Lobb.

Godfreyѻýs death has not been deemed a murder.

The body of Godfrey, a 25-year-old from Ontario, was discovered at Kelownaѻýs Glenmore dog park around 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 16.

Ashley Henry, one of Godfreyѻýs friends, told Capital News that they were together having a movie night six hours before Godfrey was found dead. The two young women were hanging out until approximately 2 a.m. when Godfrey left.

ѻýThe few days leading up to her death were really good and we had a really good time,ѻý said Henry.

Matt Kennedy, a friend from Godfreyѻýs hometown of Kingston, told Capital News that he saw concerning posts from Godfreyѻýs social media shortly before her death.

ѻýShe literally posted ѻýif I wind up dead it is ѻýcause (sic) of this guy,ѻý said Kennedy.

Godfrey also allegedly posted screenshots of messages between her and the ѻýguyѻý that she was concerned about, warning her friends of his intentions.

Henry does not personally know the man pictured in Godfreyѻýs posts but said that he was allegedly ѻýextremely abusive to her and she had been trying to leave him for a long time.ѻý

Godfreyѻýs family and friends organized a fundraiser to cover costs incurred by the sudden death, raising over $8,500.
