The body of 71-year-old Margaret Kendrick was found in Marin County, the Marin County Coroner’s Office said Wednesday afternoon.

The coroner’s office is still investigating her cause of death and has not released details about where she was found or under what circumstances.

Kendrick, an SFMOMA employee, was first reported missing to San Francisco police on Aug. 19.

Her daughter, Edana Contreras, posted a message about her mother’s death on Facebook on Wednesday.

“Sadly my dear mother was found deceased in coastal Marin County,” Contreras wrote. “Although we spent many happy days together, she suffered deeply from depression. Many thanks for your caring thoughts and for spreading the word about our search.”
