Woman's death 'no longer suspicious' - police

The death of a woman whose body was found at a property in York earlier this week is no longer being treated as suspicious following "extensive inquiries", police have said.

The woman, who was 61, was discovered by officers after they were called to an address on Albert Street, near Walmgate, at about 11:30 BST on Thursday.

A 53-year-old man who was arrested in connection with the investigation had been released with no further action required, according to North Yorkshire Police.

A force spokesperson said a report into the woman's death was being prepared for the coroner and her family was being supported.

"We thank the local community for their assistance and understanding," they added.
