On July 28, police were called to the area after the body of 60-year-old Prisciliana Douglas was discovered in the water near the 500 block of E. Carson Plaza Drive, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
She was identified on Tuesday, weeks after the discovery, when officials reported that the body showed “obvious signs of injury.”
The cause of death is not yet known, the Los Angeles County Coroner is currently considering it as postponed.
Just days before the body was discovered, the Los Angeles Police Department released a bulletin asking the public for help in locating Douglas, who was last seen on July 23 near 39th Street and Walton Avenue in the Exposition Park area.
“Ms. Douglas is of sound mind and her family and friends are deeply concerned for her safety and well-being,” the press release said.
No further information was provided.
