UPDATE: Appeal after woman found dead in Blackpool property

Police have issued an update after a woman was found deceased inside a property in Blackpool.

Officers and colleagues from the North-West Ambulance Service attended an address in Severn Road at 7.03pm on Boxing Day following reports a woman was unresponsive.

When they entered, they sadly found a woman in her 70s deceased.

A Home Office post mortem examination took place yesterday afternoon and police are now satisfied there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the woman’s death. A file will be prepared for HM Coroner in due course.
