Sweden-born photographer Sussie Ahlburg, 50, was found dead on 5 August, having been reported missing by her family the previous evening after failing to return home.

A post-mortem examination proved inconclusive, prompting further tests to be carried out.

Speaking today, a Metropolitan Police spokesperson told Amateur Photographer that an inquest is due to take place at St Pancras Coroner’s Court in December, though a date is yet to be confirmed.

The original police appeal for witnesses remains on the Metropolitan Police website.
