An investigation has been launched into the death of Looe grandmother Susan Norman following Friday's landslip tragedy.
The 68-year-old mother of three was killed after a landslip caused her home to collapse in the early hours of Friday morning.
Devon and Cornwall Police and the Health and Safety Executive have launched a joint investigation into the incident.
A representative from Devon and Cornwall Police said: "Work is currently on-going to make the site safe, in order to allow further specialist examinations to take place during the course of the week."
Residents of Sandplace Road said they had previously raised concerns with Cornwall Council regarding the safety of the land.
Caroline Tremlett, who lives on Sandplace Road, said residents wrote a joint-complaint to Cornwall Council in January.
"It is such an unnecessary waste of life," Mrs Tremlett said.
In a statement, Mrs Norman's family said: "As you imagine the mood is rather numbing for Susan's family and friends at this sad time.
"We will get to the bottom of this potentially avoidable tragedy.
"The property's safety has been a concern of Susan's for some time as there have been two recent slips very close to the house."
Over the weekend tributes have been paid to the former foster mother and business woman.
The scene of the building collapse:
"The incident, the news of what happened has been devastating to all locally, most especially to her family and friends.
"Any loss is so very sad but to lose someone so loved in such a heart-rending way is difficult for all to bear."
A representative from Cornwall Council said: "This is a very tragic incident and our thoughts are with the family and friends of the person who has lost their life. The council is working with the police and the Health and Safety Executive to carry out a thorough investigation into the cause of the landslip". The main routes into East Looe remain closed today as ground investigations are carried out on Sandplace Road. Both the A387 Sandplace road and B3253 St Martin's Hill have been closed since the early hours of Friday morning after a building collapsed due to a landslide, claiming the life of 68-year-old grandmother Susan Norman. While investigations take place, traffic into Looe is being diverted via the A38 to Twelvewoods roundabout, the A390 to East Taphouse and the B3359 via Pelynt. Bus services have been disrupted, with the 573 route to St Keyne and Duloe now cancelled. Train services have now resumed between Looe and Liskeard. Cornwall Council said refuse and recycling collections in the main part of the town have been postponed until after 10am to help prevent congestion. Special arrangements are also being put in place for the properties which currently have restricted access in the St Martins Road / Sandplace Road areas. Free parking is being provided for parents in the Riverside car park before 10 am and after 2.30pm to enable them to park their cars and walk their children to school. Cornwall Council said it hopes the B3253 will be reopened on Thursday. A representative from Cornwall Council said: "Subject to confirmation from the Health and Safety Executive and the police, we hope to re-open St Martin's Hill under traffic lights control by Thursday and are also working to re-open Sandplace road as quickly as possible. "We have also agreed with South West Water to suspend their works on Barbican Hill during this period."
