A crime scene was established and police found a large hunting knife during a sweep of the surrounding area.
On Saturday, Queensland Police Detective Acting Inspector Jason Shepherd said domestic violence had been ruled out.
"There's no evidence of a history of domestic violence with the victim and the information we have at this stage is she wasn't currently in a relationship," he said.
"There is signs of a little bit of blood inside the unit leading out to the footpath, so it would appear that the initial injury has occurred in a unit and that the lady has then walked out of the unit to the footpath and that's where she's collapsed."
