Jodie Fellows: Mystery surrounds death of market trader who died after arriving at hospital with serious injuries
The sudden death of a woman who passed away just hours after she arrived at hospital with extensive injuries will be investigated by homicide detectives.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Jodie Fellows, who died in Collie Hospital, about a two-hour drive south of Perth, on Thursday.
At least 10 detectives combed her South West home for clues on Friday in an attempt to piece together what could have caused her significant injuries.
After conducting a walk-through of the quiet neighbourhood, police left the residence with several large brown paper bags of evidence.
Police said that while they would approach the death from ‘all angles’, the Collie community should hold no concerns for any lingering danger.

A resident who wished to remain anonymous told The West Australian that he heard loud noises coming from the Ms Fellow’s home on Wednesday night.
The man said that although loud noises were not uncommon in the neighbourhood, he had never heard sounds like it before.
‘(There were) two loud bangs like a gunshot late (Wednesday night),’ he said.
Ms Fellows is understood to have worked at the popular Bunbury Farmers Market.
