A 17-year-old girl has died after an assault in Mishkeegogamang.
Ontario Provincial Police and Nishnawbe-Aski Police have identified her as Lynnora Mikenak, also known as Lynorra Lawson.
She was found with life-threatening injuries early last Saturday morning and air-lifted to hospital, but police say she has succumbed to her injuries.
On Sunday, OPP and NAPS arrested a 32-year-old man on aggravated assault charges, and say the investigation is now considered a homicide. The man remains in police custody.
Mishkeegogamang, formerly known as Osnaburgh First Nation, is around 500 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay and about 30 kilometres south of Pickle Lake.
