UPDATE:
By CASEY NEILL
A NOBLE Park woman, 52, was found dead outside her home this morning (Thursday).
Her Theodore Avenue neighbours heard “screams then the silence” and called for an ambulance about 5.45am.
Acting Senior Sergeant Duncan Bartley said paramedics and CFA crews responded and found a woman slumped on the ground beside her car, “not breathing, not conscious, no pulse”.
They attempted CPR but were unable to revive her.
Police arrived about 6.30am and locked down the crime scene.
“She appears to have been confronted at that vehicle in the front yard,” Acting Sen Sgt Bartley said.
“It’s a suspicious death, so the Homicide Squad is investigating.”
SES members were combing the street this afternoon.
“From the possible injuries, we’re trying to locate a possible weapon,” Acting Sen Sgt Bartley said.
He said it appeared she was home by herself at the time of her death, but that she didn’t live alone.
Her son, a shift-worker, arrived home from work shortly after police arrived.
Acting Sen Sgt Bartley expected an autopsy would be completed today.
