THE results of a post-mortem examination on a 58-year-old woman from Ramsbottom who was found dead at her home were expected to reveal later today how she died.
Police launched an investigation into the sudden death of the woman, named by neighbours as retired nurse Joyce Burgess, after she was found at her home address in George Road at about 10.20pm on Thursday.
Police said she was found dead by a visitor.
A post mortem examination was carried out yesterday to establish a cause of death which police said would determine whether the investigation became a murder inquiry.
A 55-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death and was today being questioned at Bury Police Station.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Bury CID on 0161 856 8150 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
