A 40-year-old Moroccan woman was found dead in the bedroom of her Mġarr home yesterday evening.
Police sources said there did not appear to have been any foul play involved.
The woman, a mother of two married to a Maltese, is said to have suffered from a medical condition.
She was found with a head injury and is believed to have been dead for a few hours when the police found her in a pool of blood at about 8pm.
Homicide and CID police were on the scene accompanied by forensic experts.
The police are investigating the death and an autopsy is expected to be carried out today. A magisterial inquiry is also underway.
