Gardaí have not discounted the possibility that the woman who burned to death in her car in Dublin on Tuesday may have been the victim of a bizarre accident.
The body of Sukuval Abiola Williams was found in her silver-coloured Nissan outside her home on Hendrick Street, off Blackhall Place, Dublin .
Gardaí say they have found no evidence of criminal action. A postmortem on Ms Williams was carried out yesterday by assistant State Pathologist Dr Michael Curtis, who found that she died from burn injuries and smoke inhalation.
The Garda Technical Bureau also carried out a forensic examination of the car in which Ms William was found, but it shed no light on how the woman died.
It is understood that gardaí are also investigating suggestions that Ms Williams may have been suffering from depression.
A Garda spokeswoman said they were still treating the case as suspicious and were keeping an open mind in relation to the death.
"We are not ruling accidental death in or out," she said. "At this point we have found no evidence of criminal action."
Originally from Nigeria, Ms Williams had been living in Ireland for eight years and worked in an afro-Caribbean store on Bolton Street.
She had an eight-year-old son whom gardaí found asleep in her apartment after they discovered her body. The boy is being looked after by relatives.
A book of condolence will again be opened on Hendrick Street this morning for Ms Williams. Friends and relatives organised the book yesterday and had collected a large number of signatures up to last night, from members of the Nigerian and wider immigrant community, as well as from local residents and other sympathisers.
