Police say an elderly woman has died and two people are under arrest following a violent home invasion on Vancouver's west side.

A statement from police says 78 year old Usha Singh died Tuesday.

Investigators believe she was attacked early Sunday by two men who entered her home posing as police officers.

The statement says a 47 year old man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for unrelated offences was arrested in east Vancouver Tuesday, suffering a serious bite wound from a police service dog in the process.

A 41 year old man was taken into custody a few hours later near the city's Downtown Eastside.

Charges have not yet been laid and police say they continue to gather evidence and have served numerous search warrants including at least one in Strathcona Park, where a large tent encampment is located.
