Neighbours told the Mail Online that they had seen police and paramedics at the property yesterday afternoon.
Susanne was dubbed the 'Lotto Gran' after she contacted Camelot last year to claim half of a £66million jackpot. She claimed to have found the winning ticket, but said it had been damaged after she washed a pair of jeans with the ticket in the pocket.
Investigators from Camelot soon found that the ticket was not correct and hadn't been a winner. Eventually the real winner came forward.

Speaking after her claims were found to be untrue, Susanne said she regretted the whole thing and it had left her feeling suicidal.
She told the Mail: "I wanted to be dead. I couldn't understand why all of a sudden I was hated by so many people. I didn't do anything wrong."
A spokesman from West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "We can confirm that it was called to reports of a woman in cardiac arrest at a property in Borrowdale Drive, Worcester, at 5.35pm yesterday.
