Earlier this morning Seattle Police received a report of a suicide at Golden Gardens.
Police and rescue crews were dispatched to the park around 10:30 a.m. where they discovered the body of a middle-aged woman up the shore from the beach. There was a suicide note found with the victim.
A witness told the Ballard News-Tribune that she was walking her dog on the beach northbound during low tide when she saw emergency personal carrying the deceased woman southbound on the beach. She said they came from further up the shore "around the bend" and could not see where the incident occurred.
Detective Patrick Michaud with SPD said that they received a call earlier this morning from someone looking for the victim.
Police could not reveal if the woman was found in Puget Sound, on the tracks or in the pond near the incident.
Michaud said they are still investigating the cause of death.
