Police say a woman’s body has been found along the Burke Gilman Trail in Seattle.

The body was found early Friday along a section of the trail near the Lake Washington Ship Canal.

“A passerby saw it and called 911,” says Seattle Police Detective Mark Jamieson.

Officers arrived and found a woman in her 20s with a gunshot wound.
