Woman found dead in New Bedford home

NEW BEDFORD (AP) - The death of a 35-year-old New Bedford woman found in her apartment has been termed suspicious.

A spokesman for the Bristol district attorney's office says Tiffany Ann Durfee was found dead by a relative at about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The body has been handed over to the medical examiner to determine the cause of death.

A neighbor told The Standard-Times that Durfee lived in the apartment with her three children and had moved in less than a year ago.

If the death is ruled a homicide, it would be the city's third this year, and the second in less than a week.
