A post mortem examination was inconclusive and further tests are being carried out to determine Danielle’s cause of death.

Detective Chief Inspector Rebecca Hodgman, who is leading the investigation, said: “This is an extremely sad case in which a young woman has lost her life, and my thoughts remain with Danielle’s family and friends at this most difficult of times.

“At this time, our investigation into the circumstances surrounding Danielle’s death is in the very early stages and we ask the public not to speculate about the case. I’d like to offer my reassurance that our enquiries continue at pace.
