On 1/10/2015 at about 1430 hours, a Kayak instructor and his students were paddling on the west side of Lake Merced, near
Skyline Drive, when he noticed the subject floating face down among vegetation, near the shore. San Francisco Fire
Department personnel arrived at Lake Merced's west shore, located about 650 feet north of Harding Drive. From this location
the subject was noted face down in the water, near the shore, and down an approximate 15 foot embankment. Fire personnel
had to cutaway dense brush and grass to make their way down the the steep embankment. Paramedics made contact with the
subject and confirmed death present at 1510 hours. She was dressed in a sweater, two shirts, athletic pants, underpants, shoes,
and socks. No jewelry or property was secured. External examination revealed the remains to be cold to the touch with lividity
indiscernible and rigor mortis absent. She was in a moderate state of decomposition, with skin slippage, balding, and featured
distortion. No obvious trauma was noted.
