Mysterious death of Hannah Nicholson Leeds 1935

[seamoon24]

Hannah was born on 4th August 1890 in Hunslet, Leeds, Yorkshire. James Nicholson and Hannah Lister were her parents. According to her probate she was last seen alive on 23rd May 1935 and her dead body was discovered on the 27th May at Stourton just outside Leeds. I was hoping the detectives among you might help me find out what happened to her.
