A WOMAN was found dead at Kingsteignton’s Priscott Way over the weekend.

Police were called to the area just after 7am on Saturday amid concerns for the woman’s welfare.

They arrived at the location where the 47-year-old woman was declared dead at the scene.

It’s understood the woman, who has not been named but was local to Kingsteignton, was found hanging.

A police spokesman said: ‘We are not currently treating this death as suspicious - and a file is to be prepared on behalf of the coroner.

He added: ‘Next of kin have been informed.’

An inquest is likely to be opened later this week to take formal evidence of identity.
