Abstract
“At this stage we think it is death by misadventure,” Inspector George said.
“We’ve had a post-mortem conducted today and there are no obvious signs of trauma, and it is possibly consistent with drowning.
“We’ve had no one come forward at all in relation to identity, so we’re still appealing for witnesses to come forward who may have seen her around midnight.”
POLICE are appealing for information that might lead to the identity of a woman whose body was found floating off Sydney’s Bondi Beach yesterday morning.
The Asian woman, believed to be in her 30s, was dressed only in bright pink flannelette pyjama pants decorated with hearts, and a pale-pink bra. She had no identification with her.
The woman’s body was discovered by police during a routine patrol at about 2.30am.
No clues were found despite an intense search. Some clothes were found and removed from the scene, but police doubt that they belonged to the woman.
NSW police Inspector Christine George said there were no signs of injury.
“At this stage we think it is death by misadventure,” Inspector George said.
“We’ve had a post-mortem conducted today and there are no obvious signs of trauma, and it is possibly consistent with drowning.
“We’ve had no one come forward at all in relation to identity, so we’re still appealing for witnesses to come forward who may have seen her around midnight.”
The woman is described as 160cm, of medium to solid build, with short, straight black hair.
Anyone with information on the case or who may have seen the woman walking in the Bondi area late on Wednesday night is being urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
