It came after a number of officers shut down Balunie Street, Dundee, for almost 12 hours on Sunday after a man shut himself inside a house.
The man, who police said had been threatening to self-harm, gave himself up to officers just before 9pm and was arrested.
The two incidents are understood to be related.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: “Officers responded to reports of a concern for person at a property on Orchard Way, Inchture, Perth around 11.40pm on Saturday, February 13.
"Emergency services attended and a 44 year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The death is being treated as suspicious.
"A 46-year-old man has been arrested and enquiries are ongoing.”
Following the incident in Dundee, a spokesman for the force said: “Around 8.45am on Sunday, February 14, officers were called to an address in Balunie Street, Dundee where a 46-year-old man was threatening self-harm within a house.
"Officers, assisted by public order trained officers and negotiators attended. There was no threat to the wider public during this incident.
