The family of the 53 year old woman who died in a fire in Chippenham have released a tribute to her.

Karen Archard, from Westcroft, Chippenham, was found at about 3am on August 7 in Sainsbury's car park in Bath Road after firefighters had put out a blaze.

The police are not treating her death as suspicious.

Her family have said: "Karen was a loving, caring and thoughtful mum and nan, who will be greatly missed.

"She had suffered most of her life, battling against mental illness, which can be severely misunderstood. She was a happy and joyful mum and nan who will be sadly missed by all those who knew and loved her.

"We would like to thank all the people who came forward and helped the police with their inquiries and the police for handling this matter discreetly and delicately.

"We would like to be left to grieve in peace and we hope that people will respect these wishes."
