The body of a young woman, believed to be in her mid-20s, has been found in a cottage off North Hill, Colchester.

A spokesman for Essex Police confirmed officers were called out to an address off North Hill at 11am yesterday.

He said: "The police had been called by the ambulance service who had attended.

"The woman was already dead when the paramedics arrived. We are not treating the death as suspicious."

The spokesman said officers would be submitting a file to the coroner so an inquest into the woman's death can be held.
