According to the King County Medical Examiner's office, the lady found dead just outside the White Center Safeway on Roxbury has been identified as Teresa A. Fernen, age 46. The cause of death is still pending.
On May 5, two men walked up to the store and delivered the body.
According to the King County Sheriff's department, Fernen's body may have come from a nearby homeless camp.
"My husband and I got out of the car and walked up toward the door and saw this crime tape around the pillars and then saw this body covered up on the left by the north door," said Margaret Bianchi, a Gatewood resident who was shopping at Safeway.
"The body was just laying on the cement," she said. "It had a yellow covered tarp over it. We didn't know right away what it was. It seemed odd. Life goes on. People were walking around the body. Kids were playing on the horsey. The atmosphere inside the store was just the same as every day but then you realize a body was outside the door."
