POLICE investigating the death of a mother-of-three whose body was found on wasteland have ruled out foul play.

The body of 45-year-old Sue Borthwick was found on the site of the former Parkfield foundry, Stockton, on Thursday. The wasteground was cordoned off and police searched skips and under discarded mattresses in the area.

The twice-married woman, who used her maiden name of Borthwick, had been living with a boyfriend, in a flat in Stockton.

A police spokesman said: "Police are still waiting for results of forensic tests to see how she died, but there is no suggestion of foul play."

Dedications and flowers were left yesterday at the site where her body was found.
