The woman's death was not being treated as suspicious and the woman's next of kin and the coroner had been informed, the force added. | |

'Doing her gardening' | |
She said: "There were seven ambulances, two or three police cars, about two fire engines and a helicopter - I feel so sorry for her family." | |
A neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said they had been looking out of the window at around 20:30 BST when they "saw the body come out in a private ambulance". | |
"We were told that she was doing her gardening and she just fell. One moment she was gardening, the next minute gone," they said. | |
"Just imagine how her family feel. Something like that, you wouldn't dream of happening." |
