Annette Mills' family described her death as "sudden"

The death of a "devoted mother and grandmother" previously at the centre of a murder investigation is no longer being treated as suspicious.

Officers found the body of Annette Mills, 57, inside a maisonette on Delphi Way in Crookhorn, Hampshire, on 11 February.

The outcome follows further medical tests, after the initial post-mortem examination was inconclusive.

A 37-year-old man from Waterlooville, who had been arrested and bailed on suspicion of murder, has been released without charge and will face no further action.

A file is being prepared for the coroner and her family has been updated, Hampshire Constabulary added.

Ms Mills's family previously said they had been devastated and heartbroken by her "sudden" death.
