Woman dies after falling down a well in Tetbury, Gloucestershire

A woman in Gloucestershire has died after falling down a well at her home. 

The unnamed 58-year-old died after the fall at the house in Church Street in Tetbury on Saturday. 

The incident was reported to police at 5:45pm but it is believed the woman may have fallen down the well around two hours earlier.

A spokesman for Gloucestershire Police said: "Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service and paramedics were also called to the scene and fire officers recovered the victim's body down the 15-metre-deep well.

“The death is not being treated as suspicious. 

"The woman's next of kin and the coroner have been informed."
