A man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a woman last seen alive when she left a pub on Sunday evening.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the woman was found dead on Monday in her flat at Douglas House, Wigan at about 20:00 GMT.
GMP said a 56-year-old man has been arrested in connection with her death.
The force said from initial inquiries, it was believed she went to the Dog and Partridge pub, in Wallgate, had some drinks and left about 22:50.
She was thought to have arrived home 10 minutes later.
Appealing for witnesses Det Ch Insp Mark Davis, said: "This is a terribly sad murder of a woman in her own home and even though a male has been arrested, this investigation is still in it's early stages."
