SANTA CRUZ — A dead woman’s body was found Monday morning at Cowell Beach, a Santa Cruz police spokeswoman said.

The woman was found near the shore at 7:32 a.m., Joyce Blaschke said.

“There is not enough information at this point to determine if foul play is suspected,” Blaschke said.

The woman appears to have died within the past two days, according to the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office. Detectives have researched local missing person reports and have been unable to identify the woman, officials said.

Detectives are gathering information about the woman and the circumstances of her death.

The case was referred to the Santa Cruz County coroner.

Sgt. Dee Baldwin, of the coroner’s and Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office, said authorities are asking for the public’s help to find information about the woman.

The woman is described as an elderly white female, about 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing 130 pounds. She has white hair and light-colored eyes. The woman had no identifiable clothing, jewelry or tattoos.

Anyone with information, call dispatch at 831-471-1121.
