Homicide squad detectives are investigating after a woman was found unresponsive at an East Perth hotel.

Police were called to Quality Hotel Ambassador Perth on Adelaide Tce about 9.40am on Sunday.

“A woman was located inside the hotel unresponsive and has since died,” police said in a short statement.

“A man, who is believed to be known to the woman, is assisting police with their investigations.”

There are reports the woman may have been stabbed, but police have not confirmed it.

Guests were prevented from re-entering the hotel for some time as forensic officers scoured the area.

Police will hold a press conference later on Sunday about the incident.
