A woman in her 30s has been found dead inside a home at Palmview on the Sunshine Coast, with police yet to determine whether her death is suspicious.
Emergency services were called for a welfare check at the Conifer Crescent home about 8am on Thursday and found the woman dead inside. Palmview is on the Sunshine Coast, north of Brisbane.
A crime scene was declared and an investigation into the circumstances of the death is under way. Police were guarding the scene on Friday morning, and anyone with information was urged to contact investigators. One neighbour told the ABC he did not hear anything.
Analysis
Why This Matters
- The death remains unexplained, and whether it is treated as suspicious will hinge on the police investigation.
- Police have appealed for information, meaning local residents may hold details that could assist the inquiry.
- The declaration of a crime scene indicates the death is being formally investigated rather than immediately closed.
Background
Police were called to the property early Thursday after a request for a welfare check. The woman was found dead inside, and a crime scene was established. No further details about the circumstances have been released.
What to Watch
- Whether police determine the death was suspicious.
