Unexplained death in Birkenhead

We can confirm emergency services are currently in Tranmere after the body of a woman was found inside a property.

Emergency services were called just after 11pm yesterday, Thursday 14 March, and when officers entered they found a 40-year-old woman unconscious at a house on Harrowby Road.

Officers administered CPR until paramedics arrived who pronounced her dead at the scene.

Enquiries are ongoing to formally identify the woman and notify her next-of-kin.

Three people from Wirral have been arrested: a 47-year-old man and two women aged 45-year-old, on suspicion of murder and they remain in police custody. 

The investigation is in its very early stages and the death is currently being treated as unexplained.

A post-mortem examination will take place to establish her cause of death.
