A 74-year-old man is still being held by police on suspicion of the murder of his wife.
Shirley Rumbold, 73, was found on Thursday in the bungalow she shared with her husband Keith in Prestatyn, Denbighshire.
An inquest has been opened by acting coroner John Gittins and a post-mortem examination conducted by Home Office pathologist Dr Brian Rodgers.
North Wales Police said they were not seeking anyone else over the death.
The provisional cause of death has been given as asphyxia due to external compression of the neck and external airway occlusion.

“We are not seeking anyone else in relation to this investigation.”
