Woman's Body Found at Park

The body of a woman was discovered at Sunday morning, the said.

A passerby at the park discovered the body and called police at around 10 a.m., Lt. Bob Anderson of the APD told Patch.

Paramedics came out and attempted life-saving efforts to no avail. At that point, Arcadia police called the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, who handles incidents at county parks.

Capt. Mike Parker of the Sheriff's Department said that the woman, who appeared to be 35 to 40 years old, was found slumped over a park bench near the fountain in the park.

A coroner will determine cause of death, but foul play is not suspected, Parker said.

Parker said three partially consumed bottles of vodka were found near the woman. The weekend's cold weather did not appear to be a factor in her death as Parker said the woman was dressed appropriately for the temperature.

The identity of the woman will be released pending the coroner's investigation, authorities said.

Capt. Parker said the woman appears to be a transient.
