"The news of Victoria's death has come with shock and deep sadness to her family and friends," reads a statement that the 25-year-old's family sent to the media through the RCMP.
"She was a bright young woman, who deserves to be remembered for her good humour, her love of animals and her genuine desire to bring others happiness," they said on Monday.
The statement goes on to say the family wants privacy as they mourn.
It asks the media and the public to refrain from speculation on the cause of death.
