One woman who lives nearby said: "We were sitting indoors when we heard sirens and then saw the lights drive past. We looked out the door and saw the emergency services in the distance, but didn't know what happened. We only found out someone had died the next day online. It's absolutely awful."

One worker who was walking down the street said: "I turned up to work the following day and heard about what happened and was shocked. It's really sad to hear about something like that."

One neighbour said they believed the woman was in her 50s but seemed to keep herself to herself.
