A man has been charged, and police are investigating after a woman died in hospital hours after she was allegedly assaulted in a home on the Sunshine Coast.

A Queensland Police Service spokesman said officers were called to a home on Gannawarra St, Currimundi, about 4.40pm on Sunday, December 22, to reports of a disturbance.

A 47-year-old woman was found at the home with non-life-threatening injuries, and was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital for treatment.

However, she died in hospital on December 23.

A 58-year-old Currimundi man was initially arrested at the scene and charged with assault occasioning bodily harm (domestic violence offence) and obstruct police.

He was remanded in custody to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on January 6.

Police continue to investigate the woman’s death, and a post-mortem is yet to be completed.
