Investigation Launched After Woman Found Unconscious in PB Apartment

Homicide investigators are looking into the cause of death for a young woman found on the floor of a Pacific Beach apartment.

A 25-year-old woman was found unconscious inside one of the units at the apartment complex near Oliver Avenue and Morrell Street.

A friend who lives in the apartment called San Diego Police at 11:15 p.m. Sunday, reporting the incident as an attempted suicide.

Emergency personnel could not revive the woman and she was pronounced dead.

Responding officers could not determine the exact cause of death and noted some injuries on the woman’s body.

β€œThere was enough for the officers to warrant some suspicious circumstances that would have our detectives come out here and conduct a full investigation,’ said Lt. Manuel Del Toro.

An autopsy was scheduled to happen Monday.

The woman is a San Diego resident but does not live in the apartment complex, officials said. Her identity was known but was not released pending family notification.
