Manchester Police, who are investigating the death of a woman who they suspect may have died of “gross neglect”, say she is “known to have links with Northern Ireland”.
And the officers are now trying to determine the whereabouts of the next of kin.
Diane Austin, 42, passed away at her home address in Arley Grove, Stockport on Monday March 22, 2021, Greater Manchester Police said in a statement.
They added: “Investigations are ongoing into the circumstances surrounding her death. Diane is known to have ties to Northern Ireland.
“Anyone with information on Diane’s closest relative should contact the Stockport Police Coroner Office on 0161 856 9677.”
The Manchester Evening News reports that three people – a man aged 63, a woman aged 56 and a man aged 28 – were negligently arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after their death. Police said they have since been released as part of an investigation.
Police were first made aware of a “sudden death” on property in Arley Grove at around 4pm on Monday, March 22nd.
Forensic scientists entered the house and took photos.
Later that evening, three people were ushered off the property and put in a police van, neighbors said.
A neighbor who was watching said the older man shouted, “You are arresting me, I did nothing wrong.”
