A POLICE investigation into the sudden death of a 38-year-old Trowbridge woman is still going on, with the cause of death not likely to be known for several weeks.
Officers who received a call found former MasterChef contestant Helen Barker dead at her home on Shearman Street on September 8 just after 9am.
This week a force spokesman confirmed that an examination and tests on Ms Barker’s body were still ongoing and no results would likely be available until December after a post mortem examination proved to be inconclusive.
A 78-year-old man, known to Ms Barker, a former pupil at St Laurence School, was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and actual bodily harm. He has since been released on bail until November.
