Police in Copenhagen are seeking to determine the identity of a body found early this morning at Copenhagen's Amager Strandpark beach.
Neither the woman's identity nor the cause of death were immediately apparent. Investigators are hoping that once they establish the woman's age, they will be able to determine whether she had been reported missing.
“She was wearing normal clothes and was holding a bag. But she didn't have any ID and we now have to find out who she is,” Kim Nicholsen, of the Copenhagen Police, told the Ritzau news bureau.
The body is the second in recent days to be discovered in the Greater Copenhagen area.
On Monday, a decomposed male body was found behind the psychiatric emergency facility in Hillerød. An autopsy performed yesterday established that the man was between 50 and 60 years old at the time of death.
The police estimate that he has been dead for a year. They do not suspect foul play.
”There are no signs that the man was a victim of a crime,” Morten Riisager-Pedersen, a deputy superintendent with the North Zealand Police, told Ritzau.
The man is believed to be a missing northern Zealand man.
