Woman found dead inside Fremont Street Siegel Suites

Las Vegas police are investigating the death of a woman they say was found dead Friday inside the Siegel Suites near Fremont Street and Maryland Parkway.

Officers responded to a call of a "suspicious death" at 8:20 a.m. at the property, but said at the time they were unsure how the woman died. The department said about 4 p.m. that the woman's death was being investigated as a homicide.

Metro said they would not provide updates on the case until Monday.

The woman's identity and cause of death will be released by the Clark County coroner's office once her family has been notified.
