A man who was arrested on suspicion of murder will face no further police action in relation to the death of a woman, which is no longer being treated as suspicious.

Devon and Cornwall Police officers were called after a woman's body was found at an address on Teignmouth Road, Torquay, just before 21:00 GMT on Tuesday.

A forensic post-mortem was carried out on Thursday which the police said found no evidence to suggest the involvement of a third party, and that the most likely cause of death was believed to have been from natural causes.

A man in his 50s from Torquay who was arrested on suspicion of murder will face no further police action in relation to the woman's death.

Det Insp Jason Kelly said: "We would like to thank members of the public for their support and patience during this investigation.

"Our thoughts remain with the family of the deceased."
