Grimsby woman, 41, found in home 'died of natural causes'

A HOME Office pathologist has concluded that a Grimsby woman found dead at her home died from natural causes.

A post mortem examination was carried out on the 41-year-old woman late on Monday night, after she had been found dead at a property in Eleanor Street at about noon that day.

Police cordoned off the home as scenes of crime officers conducted a meticulous search of the two-storey terraced house.

Officers stood guard at the front and the rear while a probe was carried out.

Initially, Humberside Police said the death of the woman, who has not been identified, was "unexplained".

A Humberside Police spokeswoman said: "Following a Home Office post mortem examination conducted late Monday evening, it is confirmed that the 41-year-old woman who sadly died at a property in Eleanor Street, in Grimsby, did so from natural causes.

"The 41-year-old man who had initially been arrested in connection with the incident has now been released and the family of the deceased have been informed."

Coroner's officers are now talking with the deceased woman's family to arrange the registration of her death and the release of her body so funeral arrangements can be made.

East Midlands Ambulance Service had contacted Humberside Police when the woman was discovered at 12.08pm on Monday, as reported.

A man at the property was arrested, but was released once the outcome of the post mortem examination was revealed.

The Humberside Police spokeswoman said the investigation was now concluded.
