Two people have been arrested after a lady was discovered dead in Blackpool. Her body was found on Gorton Street in the beach town approximately this morning (Thursday).
At around 9:30 a.m., emergency services stormed the area after an alarm was made about the woman, who was in her 20s. The street was sealed off as authorities investigated the incident.
