A 37-year-old woman has been charged with manslaughter over the death of a man in southeast Queensland.

She was previously charged with interfering with a corpse but the charge was upgraded late on Friday.

A 28-year-old man’s body was found in bushland in Preston, on the outskirts of Toowoomba, on January 7. 

Police allege the remains were moved there from a private residence in Toowoomba the day before.

The Glenvale woman has also been charged with 13 counts of supplying a dangerous drug in relation to the same matter.

Last month a 37-year-old man from Cherry Creek was charged with misconduct with a corpse by interfering.

Investigators say the dead man knew the pair.
