A woman's body has been found at a house in Ayrshire.

Police were called to Crusader Crescent in Stewarton around 6.20am on Thursday where they found the dead woman.

An investigation has been launched into the death, which police are treating as unexplained.

The property was cordoned off while officers conducted inquiries.

A spokeswoman for the force said: "The woman is still to be formally identified and the death is currently being treated as unexplained.

"A postmortem will be carried out in due course to establish the exact cause of death."

The spokeswoman was unable to confirm whether the death was linked to a fire at a nearby caravan park an hour earlier in which a 50-year-old man suffered serious burns.
