Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the suspicious death of a woman in Derry.

A fire was reported within a Harvey Street address at around 4.15am this morning.

Crews from NI Fire and Rescue Service attended the scene, where a woman was then discovered in ground floor flat.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.
