Police investigation over woman's death in Meir
It's as officers were called to reports of an assault
Staffordshire Police were called to Kingsdale Close, Meir, just before 5pm on Friday (18 May) after receiving reports of an assault.
Officers found a 46-year-old woman and a man in his 30s inside.
Whist officers were arresting the man downstairs, the woman fell down the stairs. She was taken to hospital for treatment but sadly died a short time later.
The woman’s death is currently being treated as unexplained as investigations continue.
Meantime, a 38-year-old man from Stoke-on-Trent who was arrested on suspicion of assault has since been released on conditional bail.
Police say they have also referred the force to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) as officers were present.
Anyone with any information is being asked to get in touch.
