“Suspicious death” investigation near Fairmount Park

Megan e-mailed overnight about police activity in and around a building at Fauntleroy/Dawson (map), which had been preceded by a medic call earlier in the night (“7 per rule,” which usually means serious distress or injury), and then was followed very early this morning by the Medical Examiner taking away a body. According to Lt. Steve Paulsen from the Southwest Precinct, it’s a “death investigation that can be classified as suspicious” and investigators were called in to thoroughly process the scene “to be on the safe side.” That’s all the info we have so far but will update when we know more.

So here is one update from the PI:

“A 71-year-old woman was found dead Friday night inside her West Seattle apartment and investigators are treating it as a homicide, Seattle police reported Saturday.

Officers received a call shortly after 10:30 p.m. from the woman’s relative to report the body at her apartment in the 5200 block of Fauntleroy Way Southwest, police said.”

we posted a new update with that same info (from SPDBlotter) right about the same time you added it here – it may have appeared on the SPDBlotter site a bit sooner, and that feeds our Crime Watch page automatically via RSS:
