A woman and a 17-year-old girl have been found dead at a property in Hampshire.

Hampshire Police said the two bodies were found in Shorefield Road, Downton, near to Milford-on-Sea, on 29 December.

The force said the deaths of the teenager and 42-year-old woman are being treated as “unexplained” but not suspicious.

No further details have yet been released about their deaths and police say a file has been prepared for the coroner.

A spokesperson for Hampshire Police said: “We were called just after 1.45pm on Thursday 29 December to a report of the bodies of a 17-year-old girl and 42-year-old woman having been found at an address in Shorefield Road, Downton.

Police were called to an adult care facility in Lansbury Drive, Hayes, on Monday at around 11.50pm.

Officers are also investigating the death of 39-year-old Stephanie Hansen who was killed at her home in Hayes on New Year’s Eve.
