A woman was found dead late Sunday night in a public park in Tel Aviv, her body burned beyond recognition. Police have opened an investigation into the circumstances of her death, including the possibility of murder, and are working to determine her identity.
The initial emergency call came in at 11:06 p.m. to Magen David Adom’s 101 dispatch center in the Dan region. At first, the organization reported the body belonged to a man. But when paramedics and medics arrived at the scene, they found a woman with no signs of life and declared her dead at the scene.
At around 12:40 a.m., police said they had received a report of a fire in a public garden at the intersection of Yigal Alon and Yitzhak Sadeh streets in Tel Aviv.

According to police, a passerby saw flames in the park and noticed a woman among the burning fire. The woman’s body was transferred to the National Center of Forensic Medicine to determine the cause of death.
