Matthew Thomson was surprised to see police arrive at the property hours after the ambulances left.
‘We saw about three ambulance vehicles at 8.10am this morning when I was getting ready to take my daughter to school,’ he told The Advertiser.
‘It was spooky seeing the ambulances here, but at the same time didn’t think too much of it.’
‘Then the police knocked on our door sometime between noon and 1pm.’
Another resident claimed she was told by police that it was a drug- related death.’
‘The police told me it was a young-ish woman that died in the house and that there were two other people with her,’ she said.
‘They were also questioning us about a black car that was driving on the street here last night.’
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
