A 41-year-old man was charged with aggravated assault after a motel employee called police early Sunday morning. Officers found the injured woman in a room before she was transported to hospital.

The cause of death is being probed, and investigators said they wouldn’t release any further information until their investigation is complete.

The accused and the victim were in a long-term relationship. Police were not releasing his name to protect the identity of the victim. It is not clear whether his name will be released now that she has died.

The man was remanded in custody after a court appearance. There was no mention in the police statement of a possible upgrading of the charge against him.
