The former MP's management said they were "absolutely devastated” by the news as a police cordon remains outside her Devon home. The 78-year-old's death was announced on Friday morning which police are now treating as suspicious after the former MP suffered "serious injuries". Officers from Devon and Cornwall were called to her home at Haytor and were joined by the ambulance service at around 11.40am on Thursday where she was found dead. Police say her next-of-kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers. A cordon remains in place at the property while specialist officers continue forensic examinations and road closures are in place around the scene.
