Caroline Jones, an area coroner for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, opened an inquest into Ms Yuan’s death today (Thursday) at Lawrence Court, in Huntingdon.
At the brief hearing, Ms Jones explained the provisional cause of death remains unascertained and requires further evidence.
She said: “This matter remains subject of a police investigation, the inquest is opening today and will be suspended pending the outcome of that investigation.
"It will be heard in due course by my fellow coroner Simon Milburn and I therefore adjourn this matter to a date to be fixed in due course.
“I extend my condolences to the family of Ms Yuan.”
