El Monte woman found floating in Pacific a possible suicide
Here's the story, first reported in our sister paper the Daily Breeze by Larry Altman:
Whale watchers on a boat a quarter-mile off Redondo Beach on Wednesday spotted a woman's body floating in the water.
Police said their preliminary investigation indicates the woman committed suicide.
Sightseers aboard the Voyager noticed the body about 10:30 a.m. Nearly 100 people, including many children, were aboard, Redondo Beach police Sgt. Phil Keenan said.
Redondo Beach Harbor Patrol officers pulled the woman - identified later as Cindy Denq, 39, of El Monte - from the water onto their boat and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but she was already dead.
