The death of a woman has been referred to the coroner after her body was found washed up on a popular Sydney beach early Wednesday morning.
A member of the public called emergency services after spotting the body washed up on the northern end of Bronte Beach in the city’s east.
“Officers from eastern suburbs police area command were called to the northern end of Bronte Beach after a member of the public found the body about 5.45am today,” a New South Wales police spokesperson said.
“A crime scene has been established and inquiries are under way.”
A blue tent was placed over the body until it was removed from the beach mid morning.
Police have since confirmed the death was not being treated as suspicious.
The beach has been reopened but people are being advised not to swim due to large waves and dangerous rips.
