Police responded to a call about an unknown problem in the area of Gamma Street and Valermo Drive, near Brown’s Line and Evans Avenue, around 3:10 a.m. on September 25.
Officers arrived to find a woman lying near the road with very serious injuries. He was rushed to the hospital via emergency.
Police revealed on Monday that the victim – who has since been identified as 43-year-old Katherine Zollerano – died from her injuries more than a month later on November 2.
A 48-year-old man was arrested and charged with multiple offences, including attempted murder, during the initial investigation, police said.
In light of the woman’s death, investigators announced upgraded charges in the case on Monday.
Giuseppe Antonio Zollerano now faces one count of first degree murder.
Police confirmed to CP24.com that he is the victim’s husband.
Zollerano is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 8.
Investigators are asking anyone with more information about the case to contact Toronto police.
