Police initially launched a murder investigation and arrested a man in his thirties on suspicion of murder.
He was later bailed pending further enquiries and it is understood the case is no longer being treated as a murder investigation.

During the short hearing, coroner Alison Mutch confirmed Miss Ford’s details.

A post mortem examination revealed that Miss Ford’s cause of death was Gamma-hydroxybutyrate, codeine and methylamphetamine toxicity and cardiomegaly.
The inquest was adjourned and is due to be heard on March 25, with a pre-inquest review on February 11.
