Foul play ruled out in N.B. woman's death

A 22-year-old woman from the Elsipogtog First Nation died from a combination of alcohol and prescription medicine, police said Friday.

Sabrina Polchies was found dead in a Salisbury, N.B., apartment on Monday night.

RCMP originally called the death suspicious, but autopsy results, a preliminary coroners report and evidence from the investigation indicate that foul play was not involved.

Polchieswas reported missing on July 4.

Her parents, Mary and Wilson Polchies, said Wednesday that they did not know how she ended up in the Salisbury apartment building or what happened to her.

Her mother said Polchies was looking forward to spending Canada Day weekend in Moncton and was in the midst of moving to the city from Elsipogtog, just west of Rexton.

Her parents believe Polchies got in with the wrong crowd. Mary Polchies said this was evident from her last phone conversation with her daughter.

"She was in this house, she wanted to leave this apartment house she's in Salisbury," Mary Polchies said. "She was asking whoever that was in this house, 'I'm in Salisbury, where am I?'"
