Authorities have identified a body found dead in a garbage chute at a hotel in San Francisco.
The medical examiner's office says the woman was 54-year-old Natalie Blaugh, but it has not yet determined how she died. Blaugh was found inside a chute at the Hotel Sunrise in the city's Mission District on Wednesday night.
San Francisco police spokesman Officer Gordon Shyy says there were no external signs of a homicide at the scene, but the investigation is continuing.
