Householders have described how a quiet residential street became the centre of a police investigation following the death of a neighbour.
Emergency services including police and paramedics descended on Oak Avenue in Thorpe St Andrew around 2.30pm Wednesday afternoon after a woman was found unresponsive inside a bungalow.
The woman, who was aged in her 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said her death is “unexplained” but is not being treated as suspicious.
A spokesperson said: “Officers continue to establish the exact circumstances surrounding her death ahead of preparing a file for the coroner.”
Following the discovery a police cordon was placed around the semi-detached property.
A neighbour, who preferred not to be named, said: “It was pretty shocking. We didn’t know the woman very well but it is very sad.”
