An inquest has opened into the death of a woman who was found dead at her home address. Clair Ablewhite was identified by her father at the property in Colston Bassett.

Clair Ablewhite was found dead on February 26 in circumstances which "suggest that consideration has to be given whether her death was of natural causes", the inquest at Nottingham's Council House heard. Mr Gordon Clow, Assistant Coroner for Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire, added: "I do not have a precise cause of her death."
