Woman’s body found amid debris at Northern California recycling center
On Thursday morning a woman’s body was found in Samoa, the Eureka Police confirmed Thursday afternoon.
“A deceased female was located amongst recycling that had been transferred to the Samoa Resource Recovery Center on Vance Avenue by a Recology truck,” Eureka Police spokeswoman Brittany Powell said in an email. “Based on the pickup route, it is believed the female had been picked up from within the city limits of Eureka.”
The Eureka Police Department was called to the scene and identified a deceased adult woman. The Humboldt County Coroner’s Office is working to contact the next of kin.
“An autopsy will be scheduled to aid in further investigation,” Powell told the Times-Standard.
