The 31-year-old died in Bateson Street

A man arrested over the death of a woman in Stockport has been released and will face no further action.

There were "no suspicious circumstances" in the death of a 31-year-old in Bateson Street in the early hours of Friday, Greater Manchester Police said.

Officers were called following concerns for her welfare.

Post-mortem tests have been carried out but the cause of her death remains unclear, police said.

Det Insp Chris Aunins added: "I would like to reassure the public that a rigorous investigation is ongoing to determine exactly what caused this lady's death.

"I can however confirm it is no longer being treated as a murder investigation and further tests will be carried out."
