Three people arrested after a young woman was found dead at a Manchester flat have been released on bail, police have confirmed.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old was found unresponsive at an address on Grosvenor Street, off Oxford Road<\/a>, in the early hours of Thursday (October 16).<\/p>\n

Greater Manchester Police were called to the flat over reports of a concern for welfare.<\/p>\n

The woman was a member of staff at Gorilla, bosses confirmed. The flat is reportedly close to sister venue The Deaf Institute.<\/p>\n

The Manchester Evening News understands the member of staff was not on shift at the time and the incident was not directly connected to either venue.<\/p>\n

Three arrests were made in connection with alleged drugs supply. In an update issued today (October 18), a spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said all three had since been bailed. Enquiries are ongoing.<\/p>\n

Bosses at The Deaf Institute previously said in a statement: “We can confirm that in the early hours of Thursday morning a team member from our Gorilla venue tragically passed away in an apartment on Grosvenor Street.<\/p>\n

“We do not have any detailed information as to what occurred at this time, and it would be inappropriate for us to comment further particularly whilst there is an ongoing police investigation.<\/p>\n

“Naturally, we have reached out to Greater Manchester Police<\/a> and informed them that we will assist in any way we can in terms of uncovering what has happened.<\/p>\n

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of our deceased colleague at this very sad time.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The young woman was found dead in the flat near the venue’s sister site The Deaf Institute 10:41,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":507475,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,4884,2465,8086,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-509128","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-manchester","12":"tag-manchester-city-centre","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115394567808336787","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=509128"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509128\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/507475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=509128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=509128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=509128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
