Paramedics tried to save Douglas but she died at the scene. Police arrested King at Campbelltown Police Station about 7.30am today.

The 35-year-old is assisting police with their inquiries. No charges have yet been laid.

Homicide detectives and Nepean police are now investigating Douglas' death.

"There is a history of police involvement with both these two people," McCusker said.

McCusker confirmed there is also a history of domestic violence.

She said there were no aggravated violence orders in place in relation to the couple.

A critical incident team from Ryde Police Area Command will investigate the incident and police response as a whole, police confirmed.

The critical incident team will investigate why police did not respond to the welfare check call on Tuesday night, McCusker said.

The investigation is continuing.

Neighbours were left "unsettled" by the death in their suburban street.

"I've been here all my life, never had a murder here," a neighbour said.

"Not what you really want to hear."

The Law Enforcement Conduct Commission, which investigates allegations of police misconduct, has been notified and will independently monitor the probe by NSW Police's Professional Standards Command.

Australia's medical watchdog has issued a warning over medicines and herbal supplements containing turmeric and curcumin.

The TGA says it has had 18 reports of liver problems from Aussies who had taken products containing either or both of the substances..

It said nine cases had enough information to suggest a liver injury may have been caused by the turmeric, known as Curcuma longa, or curcumin which is found in turmeric.

In four cases there were no other ingredients likely to have contributed to the liver injury, it said, and of two "severe" cases, one person died.

"Consumers and health professionals are advised that medicines and herbal supplements containing the herb Curcuma longa (turmeric) and/or curcumin may cause liver injury in rare cases," the TGA said.

"This risk also relates to other ingredients from the Curcuma species as they contain naturally occurring curcumin: Curcuma aromatica, Curcuma zanthorrhiza and Curcuma zedoaria."

The products can be bought in in supermarkets, health food shops and pharmacies without a prescription.

No particular brands have been named.

There are over 600 listed medicines included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods that contain the ingredients is said.

The TGA is now considering if warning labels are needed, with a consultation underway.

"Available evidence shows that there is a rare risk of liver injury from taking Curcuma longa (turmeric) and/or curcumin in medicinal dosage forms," the TGA said

"The risk may be higher for products with enhanced absorption or bioavailability and/or higher doses.

"People with existing or previous liver problems may be more likely to develop this rare adverse event.

"However, there is not enough information at this time to conclusively identify which medicines are higher risk."

It said normal amounts of turmeric in food are safe.

Curcuma longa, or turmeric is a plant that has been used as a food spice for over 4000 years, as well for medicinal purposes in traditional Indian and Chinese medicines.

Curcumin is a naturally occurring component in turmeric and can be isolated and used as an active ingredient in medicines.

Symptoms of liver problems include yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, nausea vomiting and unusual tiredness and weakness.

New sensor technology is being rolled out at select Woolworths stores across the country in a bid to reduce shoplifting.

A Woolworths spokesperson said the trial would include six stores in Victoria and New South Wales, with the first being Fairfield.

The spokesperson said the technology would act as a deterrent to would-be shopping lifters, along with keeping staff and customers safe.

Customers will notice the overhead sensors when they walk into the self-serve checkout area.

The sensors will identify when someone enters the area and assigns them with a digital ID.

Alongside the digital ID, there will be a red marker until the customer has paid at one of the checkouts, at which point it will turn green.

Once green, the gate will automatically open when the customer has walked up to it.

The spokesperson said customers would remain unidentifiable throughout the whole process and each digital ID would be deleted as soon as the respective customer exits the store.

"We've recently begun a trial of new sensor technology to help reduce stock loss and to keep our customers and team safe," the spokesperson said.

"This is one of a number of initiatives, both covert and overt, to minimise instances of retail crime in store networks across the Group."

The first store trialling the technology is Fairfield with the following stores to follow; Moorabbin, Millers Junction, Woodgrove, Wentworthville, and Randwick Metro.

An Australian mother of three has died suddenly weeks after being medically evacuated from Thailand following a fall.

Kylee Enwright had been making a steady recovery in hospital and was relearning to walk and talk when she unexpectedly suffered a second catastrophic brain bleed on Sunday.

Her husband Paul has released a statement confirming "with the greatest sadness and heaviest heart" that his wife passed away on Tuesday morning.

A "one-of-a-kind" wife and mother from Singleton in the NSW Hunter Valley, Enwright had been holidaying in Thailand with husband Paul at the time of the accident.

The couple were drinking at their hotel's pool bar on May 28 when Enwright left to visit the bathroom.

On her way back, she fell off of a retaining wall into a pit of "nothingness" which knocked her unconscious, according to her husband.

She was rushed to a local hospital in a critical condition before being flown to Phuket, where she underwent a six-hour brain surgery and was placed into a medically induced coma.

Due to a clause in the couple's travel insurance relating to alcohol, the couple was left uninsured with a huge medical bill.

The Hunter Valley community rallied to help raise over $224,000 for her medical expenses and medical evacuation flight and she was flown back to the John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle on June 15.

Since then, she had woken from her coma, was able to get up and walk around and was slowly regaining the ability to speak.

In a tribute posted on Facebook, Paul described Kylee as a "one-of-a-kind" wife, mother and grandmother.

"Until this point Kylee had been making amazing progress from her initial brain injury," he wrote.

"Kylee was one of the kindest, most generous people I have had the privilege to know."

The family now plans to donate Enwright's organs as a reflection of her "selflessness and generosity".

"There will be up to eight people that will receive a second chance at life and her spirit will live on a while longer through them," Paul said.

Shifting sands have revealed artefacts from colonial-era life off the coast of South Australia.

New research has revealed the least affordable places to rent in Australia.

A couple who have been living in Australia for more than a decade have issued a plea to Immigration Minister Andrew Giles to allow them – and their unborn child – to stay in the country.

Michaela Loudinova and her husband Miroslav Sulak have been fighting to remain in Australia for the last five years, ever since their application for permanent residency was rejected in what was assumed to have been a "mistake".

The pair first came to Sydney from their native Czech Republic in January 2013 on student visas.

"We absolutely fell in love with this country and wanted to stay," Loudinova said.

Loudinova extended her studies to include management and soon landed a job at a restaurant in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

As the restaurant manager, Loudinova was sponsored by her employer for a skilled visa. 

Three other employees at the same restaurant, who all worked in the kitchen, also applied for a sponsored skilled visa at the same time as Loudinova.

However, the restaurant workers were all left stunned and confused when, in May 2018, two of them were granted visas, and two – including Loudinova – received refusals.

Loudinova's visa was refused because the immigration officer assessing her application determined her employer didn't show enough evidence to prove they were capable of paying her salary for the next two years.

However, all four applications were all based on the same paperwork, leaving everyone scratching their heads.

"We were assured by our lawyer that this must be a mistake, a 'jurisdictional error', she called it," Loudinova said.

Following their lawyer's advice, Loudinova and her husband lodged their case with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).

Loudinova continued to work for her employer for two more years until the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the restaurant closed down.

"One day I had a job and the next day I didn't," Loudinova said.

"All our hopes for the future basically ended that day," Sulak said, explaining that, because the business tied to their visa nomination was no longer in operation, their application to stay was also likely to have been rendered invalid.

Do you have a story? Contact reporter Emily McPherson at calls from temporary workers who stayed during the pandemic and contributed to the economy to be provided with more permanent options for residency.

A parliamentary petition on the topic, started by Queensland tourism worker Luca Kattan, was signed by almost 22,000 people.

Responding to the Parkinson review report in a National Press Club address in April, Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil acknowledged Australia's migration system was "broken".

Changes planned by the government would help draw skilled migrants to Australia and offer them simpler and clearer ways to gain residency, O'Neil said. 

O'Neil said the government would raise the minimum salary an immigrant needs to receive sponsorship from an employer from 1 July, from $53,000 to $70,000.

It would also create three new pathways for temporary visa holders – a "fast and simple" pathway for high-skilled workers on high salaries, a middle pathway for skilled migrants earning above the temporary skilled migration income threshold, and an easier pathway for lower-earning workers in critical sectors with staff shortages, such as aged care. 

By the end of 2023, all skilled temporary workers would be given the opportunity to apply for permanent residency, she said.
