A woman who was found dead at a property in Owlthorpe on Wednesday (16 March) has today been named as 33-year-old Danielle Ejogbamu.
Officers were called by Yorkshire Ambulance Service shortly after 6.30am on Wednesday following reports of concern for a woman at a property in Edenthorpe Dell, Owlthorpe.
Police attended, alongside the fire service, and sadly Danielle was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Yesterday, she was formally identified and her family are being supported by specially trained officers. They will not be making any statements through the police at this time and have asked that their privacy is respected during this difficult period for them.
A post mortem examination was inconclusive and further tests are being carried out to determine Danielle’s cause of death.
Detective Chief Inspector Rebecca Hodgman, leading the investigation, said: “This is an extremely sad case in which a young woman has lost her life, and my thoughts remain with Danielle’s family and friends at this most difficult of times.
“At this time, our investigation into the circumstances surrounding Danielle’s death is in the very early stages and we ask the public not to speculate about the case. I’d like to offer my reassurance that our enquiries continue at pace.
“We are keen to hear from anyone who may have information which might assist in our enquiries. If you think you might be able to help, please call 101 and quote incident number 105 of 16 March. Information can also be passed on completely anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers.”
A 31-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder on Wednesday has been bailed while inquiries continue.
