She was found at a residence in Cois Deel, Rathkeale, and was taken to University Hospital Limerick where she later passed away. The scene has been preserved, with investigations ongoing.
A post-mortem is currently underway, “the results of which will determine the course of Garda investigation,” a spokesperson confirmed.
It is understood that the deceased may have frequented a residence on Windmill Street in Limerick, where Gardai say they had attended an incident earlier on Tuesday.
The spokesperson said: “Gardaí at Henry Street are investigating all the circumstances of the discovery of a woman with serious injuries at a residence in County Limerick on Tuesday, 19th July, 2022.
“The woman, aged in her 50s, was discovered at a residence in Cois Deel, Rathkeale, County Limerick, at approximately 8:30pm on Tuesday, 19th July, 2022.
“The woman was taken to University Hospital Limerick where she passed away on Wednesday, 20th July, 2022.
“Gardaí in Limerick had attended an incident that occurred in the Windmill Street area of Limerick earlier on the evening of Tuesday 19th July and enquiries to date suggest that the deceased may have frequented a residence on Windmill Street in the day or days prior to her discovery with serious injuries on the 19th July 2022.
They are now appealing for information from any person that may know anything about either of these incidents.
“In particular Gardaí wish to speak to any persons who were in the Windmill Street area of Limerick City or the Cois Deel area of Rathkeale between Sunday, 17th July, 2022, and Tuesday, 19th July, 2022, who observed any activity which drew their attention, to come forward.
“Any persons who may have camera footage (including dash-cam and CCTV) of either area between these dates are asked to make this footage available to Gardaí.”
Anyone with information can contact Henry Street Garda Station in Limerick on 061 212400, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or their local Garda Station.
