A 69-year-old woman was found dead on Lewes Beach at about 5 p.m. June 1, but officials do not suspect foul play.

Beachgoers found the woman lying on the sand unresponsive and without a pulse on beach #2, which is close to the ferry, said Lewes Police Chief Thomas Spell. He said medics responded to the scene, and pronounced her dead. Her body was turned over to the Division of Forensic Science for an autopsy. At this time, Spell said, her death appears natural. There is no sign of foul play or suspected drug activity, he said.

Spell said the woman had a Wayne, Pa., address, but also a greater Lewes address, which could indicate a seasonal home. He said he believes she may have arrived at the beach around noon; her car was parked nearby.
