“At this time, there is no evidence to suggest any criminality was involved in this woman’s death…a full and comprehensive investigation is being conducted,” said Cpl. Michael Gauthier with the Kelowna RCMP.
The death was “sudden and unexpected,” said Tami Johnson, a close friend who created a GoFundMe to raise money for funeral costs and to help support Chmilar’s son.
“He will need all the love and support we can show him at this time,” said Johnson.
“Jodi’s infectious laugh and fun loving spirit will be missed by all those she touched in some way.”
