Police Cordon Off Leicester Park After Discovery
Police have sealed off a park in the Midlands after the discovery of a woman's body. Officers were called to the scene in Leicester on the morning of Sunday, November 30, following a report that a body had been found.
The discovery was made at Maris Play Park, located off Saffron Lane. Upon arrival, authorities established a cordon around the area to allow officers and forensic teams to conduct their work.
Police Statement on the Investigation
Leicestershire Police have since provided an update on the situation. A spokesperson confirmed that the force received a report at 7.45am on Sunday regarding the discovery.
The spokesperson stated: "The woman’s death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner." This indicates that the investigation is currently proceeding as a sudden death inquiry rather than a homicide case.
Identification of the deceased is now a formal matter for HM Coroner. The police have not released any further details about the woman's identity at this stage.
Local Impact and Ongoing Inquiries
The police cordon led to the temporary closure of the park, a local green space used by families and residents. The forensic examination of the scene is a standard procedure in such circumstances.
While the death is not believed to be suspicious, the incident has undoubtedly caused concern in the local community. The police are likely to complete their on-site investigations before the area is fully reopened to the public.
The case will now follow the standard coronial process, where the coroner will seek to establish the exact cause of death in due course.
