A woman’s body is found at a house in the Hobart suburb of New Town after she has been dead for weeks, multiple reports say. Authorities discover the body in a shared home, where the woman lived with a man. One report says the man who shared the residence did not notify police or other authorities when she died.
The discovery comes after a delay of several weeks between the estimated time of death and when the body is located. The reports do not provide details about the woman’s identity, the cause of death, or how authorities came to enter the property. They also do not specify whether any charges have been laid.
In both accounts, the central point is that the death goes unreported for an extended period and the body is later found in the home in New Town, Hobart. Investigations are expected to determine the circumstances of the death and the reason no alert was made at the time.
