The death of a 44-year-old woman in Inchture is linked to the all-day siege in a Dundee street, The Courier understands.
Emergency service workers pronounced the woman dead at the scene after attending an incident at Orchard Way, Inchture, at around 11.40pm on Saturday.
A 46-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death and inquiries are ongoing.
Scores of officers shut down Balunie Street, in the Douglas area of Dundee, from shortly before 9am until 8.50pm on Sunday as negotiators spoke to a man through a letterbox who had shut himself inside a house.
The man, who police said had been threatening to self-harm, gave himself up to police and was then arrested.
