Request for welfare check leads authorities to Loveland body

The body of a 36-year-old Loveland woman was found Sunday morning by Loveland police, who said more than a day later that she had "suffered multiple apparent gunshot wounds."

Police responded to a welfare check 11 a.m. Sunday in the 3600 block of Butternut Drive. When they arrived, they found the body of Angela Howard, 36, of Loveland.

A release issued by police spokesman Mike Halloran said Howard's body was taken for an autopsy that occurred Monday morning, but the official cause of death had not been released by Monday night.

Police are downplaying whether the incident should be a cause for alarm.

"The investigation has led investigators to believe that there is no related general threat to the community," the release from the department stated.

The incident is being categorized by the department as an "unattended death."

However, more information is being sought by the police as well. The police are asking those with information that could be helpful to the case to call the department's tip line, 970-962-2032.
