Man released on conditional bail after woman dies in Southmead
Avon and Somerset Police say her death is being treated as suspicious - but they don't yet know the cause
A man has been released on conditional bail following the death of a woman in Southmead.
The 50-year-old man, of no fixed address. was arrested earlier this week in connection with the incident on Tuesday night, but has today been released (19 May) pending further investigations.
Officers were called out to Greystoke Gardens at just before 20:10 on Tuesday (May 16) by ambulance crews after the 37-year-old woman from Southmead was found to have died.
Her death is still being treated by police as suspicious, with police still waiting to hear the results of further investigations after an initial post-mortem was inconclusive.
The 50-year-old man who has been released on bail now has to regularly report to a police station, with the bail conditions lasting until August.
Detectives Inspector Mark Newbury said: "We're carrying out a thorough investigation into the circumstances which led to this woman's untimely death. While the cause remains unexplained we are keeping an open mind and exploring all possibilities.
"Our thoughts are with the family and we'd ask people not to speculate while we piece together what has happened. If you can help, please call 101 and give the reference 5223114111."
There'll be an increased police presence as inquiries into what happened continue.
Investigators continue to ask anyone who was in the Greystoke Gardens area between Monday evening, 15 May, and Tuesday night, 16 May, to get in touch if they haven't already.
Officers are especially keen to hear from anyone with any dashcam or other footage of the area in that time.
Anyone with any information about the circumstances leading up to the woman's death is asked to call 101 and give the reference 5223114111.
