The death of a Gore careworker whose body was found in the front yard of a vacant house is not being treated as suspicious.

Yvonne Marion Ross, 49, had been socialising at the Longford Tavern on Sunday evening and her body was found at a Pomona Street property about 8.30am on Monday.

Detective Sergeant Mike Bowman says an autopsy determined that Mrs Ross' death was not suspicious and the matter has been referred to the coroner.
