AN inquest has been opened into the death of a Winyates West woman who died on February 27 after collapsing.

Lynda Mills, 42, who lived in Sutton Close with her sister and brother-in-law, collapsed while on the phone to the police, said Worcestershire Coroner Victor Round.

Mr Round said it was known that the former care assistant, who was married but separated, had a history of serious heart disease and the pathologist's preliminary opinion was that she died as a consequence of this.

But the inquest has been adjourned for further tests.

Redditch police have released two people on bail until March 28 in connection with the death pending further inquiries.
