Marissa Ellis, 26, of Chatham died on September 19. She was initially arrested by Windsor police in front of the Windsor Public Library on Ouellette Ave. on September 4.

According to a release by the SIU, she was acting erratic so an ambulance was called for and she was taken to hospital. She was released the following day but re-admitted on September 10.

She was taken off life-support on September 19, 2017. No other details about the circumstances of the case have been released at this time.
