A woman in her sixties has fallen to her death from a high-rise block of flats.

It is understood the woman fell from a balcony in Wigan, Greater Manchester at around 2.30pm on Sunday.

Emergency services rushed to the building, where paramedics treated the casualty.

However, she was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) do not believe there are any suspicious circumstances surrounding the woman's death.

A file will be passed to the area coroner ahead of an inquest.
