A man has been released on conditional police bail pending further investigation into the death of a woman in Southmead, Bristol.
Officers were called to an address in Greystoke Gardens just before 10.10pm on Tuesday 16 May by the ambulance service.

A man in his fifties of no fixed abode was arrested from the address in connection with the investigation. He was later released on police bail until August, with conditions including regularly reporting at a police station
