ATTEMPTS are still being made to find the cause of death of a woman in her late forties whose body was found in the driveway of a Poole hostel early on the morning of November 5.

Coroner’s officers are awaiting the results of tests, but if no natural cause is found, an inquest will be opened and adjourned so that further inquiries can be made. Police are not treating the incident in Langdon Road, Parkstone, as suspicious.

The woman has not yet been named. Although she was accidentally struck by a milk float as she lay on the ground, one theory is that she was already dead.

Langdon House offers support to people suffering from drug and alcohol problems, mental illness and ex-offenders.
