Businesses on King's Road in Harrogate have reacted with shock to the news that a woman died suddenly at a house on the street yesterday.

The woman, who has not been named, died at about 9.15am yesterday on the busy residential and shopping street.

Paramedics alerted police, who arrested a man in his 40s at the property on suspicion of supplying class A drugs but he was later released under investigation.

There was subsequently a heavy police presence around the property, which is opposite several shops and cafes, including Bobbins & Bolts and Santar Deli.

Gemma Kay, the owner of fabric store Bobbins & Bolts, said she saw police take a man away in handcuffs.

She added:

"It's a bit shocking, isn't it? It's a nice neighbourhood."


Sandra Fernandes, the manager of Santar Deli, noticed police and ambulance crews at the house all morning.

She said she had seen nothing unusual about the house or the people who lived there.

She added:

"It's very sad. It's not good for this to happen here or anywhere else".


Further details of the incident have yet to be released.
