Officers were called to the Village Hotel, Blackpool, on Monday morning, after reports that a woman in her thirties had suddenly died.

The woman was found dead in her hotel room shortly afterwards.

Officers initially treated the death as “unexplained” and have today updated press that it is “not being treated as suspicious”.

In a statement, a Lancashire Constabulary spokesperson told Lancs Live: “We were called at shortly before 9.30am on Monday, September 23 to a report of a sudden death at the Village Hotel, East Park Drive.

“Officers attended and sadly the body of a woman in her 30s was found dead inside a room.

“Our thoughts are with her loved ones at this time. Following enquiries the death is not being treated as suspicious and file will be prepared for HM Coroner.

“A man in his 30s from Leeds who was arrested on suspicion of supplying a controlled drug has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.”
