An investigation has been launched into the circumstances surrounding the death of a young woman aged about 20 whose lifeless body was discovered on Tuesday morning in Theux, Verviers.

The death of the young woman, whose body was found in the family home, is considered suspicious, according to the local public prosecutor’s office, which has sent a forensic doctor to the scene.

“The expert’s initial findings reveal some disturbing elements," said Divisional Prosecutor Gilles de Villers Grand Champs, "This is why the case has been placed under investigation.”

An autopsy will be performed on the victim’s body to determine the exact cause of death and, in particular, whether a third party was involved, according to the prosecutor's office.

For the moment, no suspect has been arrested.
