South Milwaukee death investigation, woman's body found

SOUTH MILWAUKEE, Wis. - A woman's body was found Sunday, April 23 in South Milwaukee near 15th and Oak Creek Parkway.

The medical examiner confirmed the skeletal remains were found with an ID near the body, so they think it was a 50-year-old white woman. It is believed the body matched the identity on the ID, but the medical examiner did not name her. 

The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office is investigating.

It's unclear how long she may have been there or how she died.

There are 150 adults and children missing in Wisconsin, according to the DOJ, and a 50-year-old white woman is not among them. 

The scene was located near the Oak Creek. Further into the park is a playground and across the street is South Milwaukee High School. Sometimes, kids cut through the park's path to get to school, but this body was deeper into the wooded area and closer to the creek.
