At about 5 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 8500 block of Viridian Lane in reference to a call for an investigation, according to a Fort Worth police news release.

Upon arrival, officers found the woman’s body inside the home. A police incident report identifies the victim, but her name and cause of death have not been released by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office.
