Police investigating after woman’s body found outside Roxbury apartment complex

The woman’s cause and manner of death are still being determined, police said.

Boston police are investigating after a woman’s body was found outside the Alice Heyward Taylor Apartments in Roxbury early Tuesday morning. 

Officers responded to the scene on 20 Annunciation Road around 6:04 a.m. where they found the woman in “an outside area” near the apartments, police said

A neighbor told WCVB the deceased woman had been living in a car parked outside the building for months. 

“The victim’s cause and manner of death will be released after an autopsy is completed,” police said. 

Police asked anyone with information to contact homicide detectives at 617-343-4470. Tips can be shared anonymously through the department’s CrimeStoppers Tip Line.
