She was found dead yesterday at a home on Ken Churchill Drive after officers were called to concerns for someone's safety.
A 45-year-old man, who was arrested on suspicion of her murder, remains in police custody.
DCI Stacey Atkinson, of West Yorkshire Police, said: “Complex enquiries remain ongoing at Ken Churchill Drive and will be for a number of days as we investigate what has taken place there.
