The death of an 82-year-old woman in Leven is being treated as unexplained, say police.
Officers were called to a property in Green Gates, in the Broom area of the town, at around 8.30pm on Tuesday after neighbours were said to be concerned about the occupant.
Crews from the Scottish Ambulance Service were called to assist but an elderly woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
