he dead body of an unidentified woman was found under the Angke Bridge, Kembangan Utara, in West Jakarta on Thursday afternoon.
Kembangan Police chief Comr. Aldo Ferdian said the body was found by Slamet, 50, who was passing by near the scene. At first he thought it was someone who was asleep.
“He approached the body and tried to wake her up, but apparently she was already dead,” Aldo said as quoted by tribunews.com.
The woman did not have any identity card whatsoever, but the police estimated she was about 35 years old.
“She wore plaid shorts and a yellow T-shirt,” said Aldo, adding the police did not find any trauma on the body.
The police are still investigating the cause of death and urged the public to report any lost family members.
“The body has been brought to the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital for autopsy,” Aldo said.
