The grisly discovery was made by a lifeguard near the 2200 block of The Strand around 10:30 a.m. Friday, according to Manhattan Beach police. It was unclear if she had washed ashore, as initial reporting from the scene indicated that the body had been located off the coast.
There was no immediate word from police on the age of the victim or cause of death. Her name will be withheld pending notification of next of kin.
Police said her boyfriend reported that he and his friend started searching for her around 6:40 a.m.
