ESSEX Police were called to an address in Dudley Close in Chafford Hundred shortly after 5pm on Saturday May 7 following reports that ambulance paramedics had found a woman dead at the location.
Officers attended and following initial investigation the death was treated as suspicious and a 36-year-old man was arrested. The deceased is believed to be a woman in her early 40s from Chafford Hundred.
A post-mortem was carried out on Sunday, May 8 and has ruled out any third party involvement in the death.
