An Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson said: “We were called shortly after 3am on Tuesday by the ambulance service who were treating a woman at a residential address in Portway, Frome.

“She was taken to hospital in a serious condition and sadly died later that day, despite the best efforts of medics.

“She has been formally identified as 29-year-old Olivia Wood of Northwich, Cheshire.

“Her next of kin has been informed and our thoughts are with them.”
