A WOMAN arrested in a murder-style inquiry has been released without charge, after tests showed the man died of natural causes.
A 23-year-old woman was arrested after a 47-year-old man was found dead in a home on Ramsey Close, off Sherburn Road, Durham, shortly before 1am today.
However, a post-mortem examination carried out by a Home Office pathologist found the man died of heart failure.
A Durham Police spokesman said the woman had been released without charge and the man's death was no longer being treated as suspicious.
