Police probe woman’s death

Police have launched a probe after the sudden death of a woman at a flat in Dundee.

Officers were called to Dudhope Court on Sunday night after being alerted by concerned neighbours.

Several police units were spotted in the area along with an ambulance crew, and an officer remained outside the flat overnight.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: “Around 10.20pm on Sunday April 11, officers were called to a property at Dudhope Court, in the St Mary Street area of Dundee, following the sudden death of a 36-year-old woman.

“The death is currently being treated as unexplained, pending further inquiries. As with all sudden deaths, a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.”

One resident – who did not wish to be named – saw police arrive at the flat at around 10.30am.

He said: “This is really shocking. When I saw the police I realised something was up.

“She was pretty young so it’s very upsetting to learn that she has passed away.”
