A shoeless elderly woman found dead by a resident of a nearby high-rise unit around the Sundale Bridge at Broadwater Parklands.

Police do not believe the woman’s death is suspicious but they have been unable to identify who the woman is as she did not have any identification on her when found.

No missing persons reports have been filed on her.

Police have been doorknocking since the discovery but have had no success.

They are appealing to people to check on the welfare of their elderly neighbours or relatives particularly those living alone.
