A woman was found dead Wednesday near the beach in Santa Barbara, but a bad game is not suspected, according to the Santa Barbara Police Department.
Officers and other emergency personnel were dispatched around 11:40 a.m. after a passer-by found the body adjacent to the railroad near Milpas Street, Lt. Aaron Baker for Noozhawk.
“She looked like she was walking along the runways,” Baker said of the woman, who appeared to be in her 20s and 30s.
The woman’s name was not released pending positive identification and notification of relatives, and the cause and circumstances of her death were pending, Baker said.
Detectives were called to the scene, Baker said, but added that “there is no reason to believe that bad play is involved.”
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office has been sent to pick up the body and will investigate the death.
