Death of woman in Alford not believed to be suspicious

Police were called to the scene of the death

The death of a woman in Aberdeenshire which was being investigated by police is not believed to be suspicious.

The 56-year-old woman's body was discovered at a property on Leslie Crescent in Alford at about 15:45 on Monday.

Police Scotland said earlier this week it was being treated as unexplained.

The force told BBC Scotland on Friday: "Inquiries are ongoing into the death, however there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances."

A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
