The police in Samoa are waiting for a post mortem to determine the cause of death of Sa'u Justina Sa'u, who had been chief executive of the Unit Trust of Samoa.
A police source said investigators had so far interviewed a man and family members of the dead woman but found no evidence of foul play.
The death, according to police, is thought to be a suicide but this cannot be confirmed without a post mortem which can't be performed before next week.
