A woman in her 40s has been released from detention after being suspected of murdering a man following a boat trip in Askersund.

The man was found dead on June 24 after a search operation on Lake Vättern. Two days later the woman was detained on the lower level of suspicion.

On Tuesday the prosecutor lifted the detention. The autopsy showed nothing indicating the man was killed by another person, according to prosecutor Clara Åbyhammar.

The suspicions remain but have weakened. Further examinations are ongoing and a final statement is expected later.
