Man questioned by police over mum-of-two's 'unexplained' death in Lancashire

A man has been questioned by police over the unexplained death of a mother-of-two.

Lancashire Constabulary said Hannah Fry, 29, became unwell at an address in the town of Longridge while "officers were in attendance" on 13 July.

She was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead.

"Hannah's death is being treated as unexplained, and enquiries into what led to it are ongoing," a police spokesperson said.

Following her death, a 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of coercive and controlling behaviour and was later further arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, the force said.

He has been bailed with conditions while enquiries continue.

A 23-year-old man was also arrested "in relation to the offence that was initially reported and prompted police attendance," a Lancashire Constabulary spokesperson said.

He has also been released on bail.

The force has made a mandatory referral over its handling of the case to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

Ms Fry's family paid tribute to her in a statement on Monday, describing her death as "tragic and sudden".

Her parents, Kevin and Sarah Harcup, said: "Hannah was our beautiful and only daughter, the light of our lives and the love in our hearts and souls. She was a devoted mother to her two precious daughters, a cherished daughter, granddaughter, sister, and a loyal, loving friend to so many.

"At just 29 years old, Hannah's life was far too short. She was not only beautiful inside and out, but also funny, bubbly, witty, and full of life, with a fantastic personality.

"She will always be remembered for her madcap sense of humour, her infectious laugh, and her ability to light up every room she entered."

They added: "Hannah had an extraordinary capacity for love, kindness, compassion, and loyalty. She was truly one of a kind, and there will never be another like her."

A police spokesperson said: "We ask that you are mindful of all those affected by Hannah's death, and please refrain from any unhelpful speculation that could only cause further distress to her family."
