Police say the death of a woman in Meksham is ‘no longer being treated as suspicious’.

Following a post-mortem carried out on Tuesday, Wiltshire Police began to reduce their presence at the scene but forensics remained at the Berryfield Close home this morning.

Officers were initially called to the scene just before midday on Monday where the body of a woman, in her 60s, was found – sparking an investigation into the circumstances.
