Investigations continued late into last night following the "suspicious death" of a 62-year-old woman in Helston yesterday.

A heavy police presence was reported in town by local residents yesterday morning as police were called to an address on Meneage Road, Helston at around 8:30am with a report of concern for a woman.

A 62-year-old woman was declared deceased upon arrival and police continued enquiries well into the night with reports of helicopters circling the town last night.

In a statement from Devon and Cornwall Police, they confirmed the woman's death was being treated as suspicious.
