Earlier today, Northumbria Police released a statement confirming that the body of a 32-year-old woman had been discovered at a property in Ponteland. It read: "At about 8.27pm yesterday (June 20) police attended a property in Medburn, Ponteland, where sadly a 32-year-old woman was found deceased.

"There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding her death. A report will now be prepared for the coroner."
