Woman's death was not suspicious

A woman whose body was found in a house in Cumbria died of natural causes, police have said.

The 43-year-old was found in a house in Beatham Court in Penrith on Wednesday after paramedics were called.

Cumbria Police arrested a 45-year-old local man shortly afterwards on suspicion of murder.

But a post-mortem examination revealed the woman died from pneumonia-type symptoms and the man was released without charge.
