Rotherham underpass death now 'unexplained'

THE death of a woman in a Rotherham underpass is now being treated as unexplained by police after a post-mortem proved “inconclusive”.

Emergency services were called to Drummond Street in Rotherham town centre shortly before 8pm on Wednesday.

The woman (32) had apparently suffered a cardiac arrest. She died in hospital and formal identification is yet to take place.

Police said a post-mortem examination was inconclusive. 

Detectives were now treating the death as unexplained and not suspicious.

A 59-year-old Rotherham man who was arrested on suspicion of robbery and murder has been released without charge and enquiries are ongoing.
