Body Found By Commons

April 26, 2016

The body of a 42-year-old Traverse City woman was found near a hiking trail Monday by The Village at Grand Traverse Commons.

The woman, whom authorities say was homeless, was last seen alive last Wednesday. Her body was discovered at 11am Monday by a 34-year-old female hiker in the woods near a pathway known as the “Men’s Trail” near Division and Eleventh streets. Though there was no sign of foul play, Traverse City police say they are treating the death as suspicious because of the woman’s age. An autopsy is scheduled for today (Tuesday) in Kalamazoo.

Anyone with information about the woman’s death is asked to call 231-995-5002.
