Police investigating unexplained death of young woman in Leeds

    Police are investigating the death of a young woman in Seacroft after she was found at a bus shelter on Wednesday morning.

    At 5.03am yesterday police were called to a bus shelter in South Parkway, Seacroft, where the 19-year-old woman had been found unconscious by a member of the public.

    She was taken to hospital by ambulance but was pronounced dead a short time later.
