Detectives are investigating a possible link between the discovery of a woman's body in Henley Green, Coventry, and a man suffering serious injuries in the same area.
Officers discovered the body of a 41-year-old woman in Chudleigh Road on Sunday afternoon and say her death is "unexplained". A post-mortem examination is to be held.
Hours later a man was found collapsed in the city's Henley Road and two men were later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
However, West Midlands Police stressed a possible link between the two incidents was just "one line of inquiry" being investigated.
Sunday was the third busiest day of the year for 999 calls, according to West Midlands Ambulance Service, external.
In total, the Trust received 3,591 emergency calls across the region, compared with 3,154 the weekend before.
Managers blamed a combination of Halloween, Diwali, a payday weekend and an extra hour, due to the clocks going back.
They praised staff who "worked incredibly hard to ensure patients continued to receive excellent care".
Only New Year's Day and 19 July, when temperatures soared, were busier.
