A WOMAN’S body has been discovered in an office in a Poole industrial estate.
Dorset Police were called to the Carphone Warehouse business office in Bourne Valley Road at around 11am on Wednesday this week after the body of the 40-year-old employee was discovered in circumstances not deemed to be suspicious.
A spokesman for the force said: “At 10.56am on Wednesday Dorset Police received a report of a concern for welfare at Carphone Warehouse at Bourne Valley Road in Poole.
