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.

A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police: “Following the death of a woman in her 60s, who was found inside a property in Berryfield Close, Melksham on Monday 17 February, we can confirm that following a post mortem carried out yesterday (18/02) we are no longer treating the death as suspicious.

“Our thoughts are with her family at this very difficult time.”
