Mother of three found dead in her Citadel home

Calgary police want to learn more about the death of a young mother of three.

The body of 24-year-old Teri Ann Dauphinais was found in her Citadel home Monday morning.

Dauphinais's step-sister found the body and immediately called 911. An autopsy will be conducted today to determine the exact cause of death.

Staff-Sgt. George Rocks called the death suspicious, but says no charges have been laid. "Once the autopsy tells us exactly what's happened at the residence, we will move quickly from there," he said.

Rocks says the woman's children, aged eight months, two, and four years, were wrapped in blankets and removed from the home by police welfare workers.

Police say this could be Calgary's seventh homicide of the year.
