On May 9, 2021, in San Diego, California, the body of Susan Belliston, a 75-year-old White female, was discovered in her home. Susan had been living alone, following a divorce, in a residence located within a close-knit neighborhood. Approximately two weeks before her body was found, neighbors reported seeing her around her home, though she had not been seen since then. Their increasing concern about her well-being led them to contact the San Diego Police Department to request a welfare check.
Upon arriving at Susan's residence, officers found the home secured and gained entry by removing a rear screen and climbing through a window. Inside, they made the grim discovery of Susan's body in the living area. Due to noticeable postmortem changes, San Diego Police Officers were able to immediately confirm her death without the need for medical intervention. Despite the uncertainty surrounding her passing, Susan's case is being attentively handled by the authorities.
The case is currently under the jurisdiction of the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office. Located at 5570 Overland Avenue, Suite 101, the office has been tasked with determining the cause and manner of Susan's death. They can be contacted for further information at 858-694-2895, and their website provides additional resources and updates at [San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Website](https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/me.html). The agency has categorized this under case number 21-1534 and uses Namus ID UCP80436 for this unclaimed person's case.
