DOCTORS are working to find out what caused a Winchester woman's death.

An inquest has been opened into Yvonne Lesley Kennington, who was found deceased at her Colson Road home on March 31.

Her daughter had been contacted by her 59-year-old mother's GP after she missed an appointment.

Ms Kennington was found unresponsive at home and later pronounced dead by paramedics.

A post mortem report by consultant pathologist Dr Adnan Al Badri states that the cause of death is currently unascertained.

Area coroner Jason Pegg expects more information will be available at the full inquest hearing in August.

A specific date has not yet been decided.
