Investigators, including forensic officers, were collecting evidence at the scene for scientific investigation, said Cypriot police chief Michalis Nikolaou.

Her body has been transferred to the mortuary of Nicosia General Hospital, where an autopsy was scheduled to take place at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday.
