Woman Found Dead In Car In Falls Township

FALLS, TOWNSHIP, PA — The death of a 42-year-old woman whose body was found in the back seat of a car in Falls Township appears to have been accidental, police said Friday.

Bristol Township Police Lt. Hank Ward said investigators are still trying to piece together what led to the woman's death, but that the results of an autopsy do not suggest foul play. Police are not yet identifying the woman, but Ward said she was from Bristol Township.

Officers were called shortly after 1 p.m. Thursday to a parking lot between Pinewood Drive and Lakeside Drive in Falls Township. There, they discovered a woman's body laying across the back seat of a blue Hyundai sedan, according to police.

There was evidence that a fire had been set inside the car. Ward said the investigation in the case is ongoing.
