Deaths identified as suspicious by law-enforcement officials don't always prove to be so after further investigation. But I'm going to edge out onto a limb and say this description will prove to be accurate as applied to an investigation centered on the intersection of 8th Avenue and Navajo Street, an area captured in the graphic above (if you have problems seeing the image, click "View Larger Map"). After all, a woman's body was discovered in the trunk of a car last night -- and even if she died of natural causes, the presence of her remains there would have to be considered, well, suspicious.
Read the DPD release on the incident below.
