Cypress police were called to the home in the 10200 block of Pimlico Drive for a welfare check. When no one answered the door, officers forced their way in and found the body.
"When the officers broke in, it was pretty clear to them it was not a natural cause death," Officer Paulo Morales said.
The woman's name has not been released pending notification of next of kin.
