EDMONDS — Investigators didn’t find any obvious signs of trauma to the body of a woman discovered Friday morning along Highway 99.
It will be up to the medical examiner to determine how the woman died, Edmonds police Sgt. Don Anderson said.
The woman likely had been dead for some time. Investigators on Friday were unable to determine her age or any other identifiers, Anderson said.
Someone called police just before noon to report the body lying next to a building in the 21700 block of Highway 99, between a building and some railroad ties, Anderson said.
Police continue to investigate.
