A woman is being questioned by police after she was arrested on suspicion of murdering a man on Christmas Day in a Staffordshire village.
Staffordshire police said a postmortem was being carried out on Boxing Day to determine the cause of death of the man, in his 30s, who was thought to have died at a property in Norton Canes.
A 33-year-old woman, from Cannock, was arrested on suspicion of murdering the man, who was found in cardiac arrest at about 3.25am, Staffordshire police said.
Despite the efforts of emergency services at the scene, he died a short while later, said police.
The man’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.
A crime scene has been established at the address and the police tape will remain in place for a number of days while the investigation continues. An increased police presence is also expected in the area to provide reassurance to residents.
