Two other deaths in city
Police are investigating two other deaths in Dundee this week.
A number of officers, including CID, were in Dallfield Court yesterday after a woman’s body was found on Wednesday night.
One witness said emergency services had been in the area from around 10.30pm on Wednesday before it was confirmed a woman had died.
He said: “From what I have heard from other tenants there had been concerns for the woman’s wellbeing.
“It was someone from one of the other blocks who raised the alarm before the emergency services arrived.
“I came past shortly after 11pm and noticed the police and the ambulance crews on the scene.
“There were two police officers that I could see around that time.
“It’s tragic that another person has lost their life at such a young age.
“I was told she was only 43.”
A spokesman for Police Scotland confirmed a woman’s body was found after officers gained entry to one of the flats near the main entrance.
The police spokesman added: “Officers attended an address on Dallfield Court at around 10.30pm on Wednesday in response to concerns raised for a resident.
“Entry was gained and the body of a woman in her 40s was found within.

It was the second discovery of a body in Dundee on Wednesday after a male was found at a property in Clifden Blue Court, Ballumbie.
A police spokesman said: “The death is being treated as unexplained, and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.”
Paramedics were called to the flat at around 10am following reports of concern for a resident.
They had to request the assistance of police with riot shields and council dog wardens after coming up against a dog in the property.
Waiting paramedics were able to enter the property when the dog had been removed.
