Update: O'Connor was in a hole that collapsed, police say

Ocean City police are investigating the death of a 30-year-old Plano, Texas woman whose body was found on a beach Monday.

The body of Ashley O'Connor was found at around 6:30 a.m. July 31 on the beach near the area of 2nd Street in Ocean City, according to a news release from the city. O'Connor was buried in the sand with just her forearm and hand exposed, according to a report from the Maryland Coast Dispatch.

O'Connor's body was removed from the sand at around 4:15 p.m. and will be examined by the Maryland chief medical examiner's office to determine her cause of death, city officials said.

The Delmarva Daily Times reported that O'Connor was vacationing at a nearby resort with her parents. She was separated from her family at around 2 a.m. and hadn't been missing long before her body was found, according to the report. O'Connor's death appears to be accidental.
