Police found the unresponsive woman late on Tuesday near the town of Katherine, 320km south of Darwin.

Paramedics attempted CPR but she died at the scene.

"The 33-year-old had an existing medical condition, which appears to have been a contributing factor in her death," Detective Acting Superintendent Paul Lawson said on Thursday.

A 26-year-old woman has been charged with violent conduct causing death.
