A woman who abused the parents of Madeleine McCann on social media has been found dead in a Leicestershire hotel.

Brenda Leyland was featured in a Sky News report on internet abuse earlier this week.

A spokesman for Leicestershire Police said: "Police were called at 1.42pm on Saturday 4 October to a report of a body of a woman in a hotel room in Smith Way, Grove Park, Leicester.

"Officers attended the scene, and a file is being prepared for the coroner."

The body has now been formally identified as Ms Leyland.

Police said her death is not being treated as suspicious.
