Before officers arrived at the scene, police received a call for a person requesting emergency medical services. The caller then began “not making much sense,” police said.
Officers said Roberts would not open the door to the apartment but kept requesting assistance from EMS. They eventually talked him into opening the door and found the woman on the floor.
Authorities are still investigating her cause of death.
