A POST-MORTEM examination conducted after a woman died in a tent in York has proved inconclusive.

Now police say they are waiting for the results of toxicology tests.

The Evening Press reported in later editions yesterday how a 41-year-old local woman had died in a blue tent pitched on gravelled wasteland at the edge of the Euro car park in Leeman Road.

An ambulance crew was called out at 1am by a member of the public saying that a woman was unconscious in a tent. When the crew arrived, they found she was dead.

Scenes of crime officers visited the scene, followed later by a forensic team. A 30-metre square area around the tent was sealed off, with a police officer standing guard. A number of food containers and bottles could be seen lying around the area.

The woman's body was taken to York District Hospital mortuary, where the post-mortem examination was conducted yesterday afternoon.
