A 47-year-old woman who was arrested at the scene for the unlawful supply of a controlled substance has been stood down from police bail.

An inquest date has yet to be fixed.

The death was referred to the IPCC as there had been police contact with the two people the night before.

The IPCC has considered the referral and it has decided that the matter should be subject of a local investigation.
