Police are continuing to investigate the sudden death of a woman at a property on Whinlatter Way, Carlisle.

As part of ongoing enquiries, officers are investigating all possible circumstances surrounding how the injuries were sustained, including whether they may have been self-inflicted.

Our thoughts remain with the family and loved ones of the deceased, and we would respectfully ask that their privacy is respected as they come to terms with their loss.

We would also ask that people act with consideration and respect at this difficult time and refrain from speculation, as this can cause additional distress to those affected by this tragedy while enquiries remain ongoing.
