The death did not immediately appear to be suspicious but further investigation was still needed, Henry said.

Bystanders said police had been on the scene since around dusk and appeared to remove the woman’s body after dark.

Investigators from the borough and Bucks County District Attorney’s Office were working to identify the body as of Wednesday at 8:45 p.m.
