Paramedics got to the address at around 7.25am and rushed Ms Moore to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff where she died of her injuries.
Two men, aged 48 and 45, were arrested on suspicion of murder.

In a statement, Ms Moore’s family said they had been left “deeply saddened and shocked” by the loss.
“Susan lived her life to the full and there was certainly never a dull moment,” they said.
“She was a proud daughter and mother of three who will be sorely missed.
“We as a family are continuing to process the events at this time and request our privacy is respected.
