Woman's body discovered by teenager in woods in Madeley
The body of a woman was yesterday discovered by a teenage boy in the Madeley area of Telford.
The discovery was reported to police at 10:44am by a man walking his dog after he came across the teenage boy who was distressed at discovering the body in woods.
The boy left the scene before officers arrived and had a chance to speak to him and check on his welfare. He has since contacted police following an appeal earlier today.
The death is currently being treated as unexplained but not suspicious. Officers are carrying out enquiries to establish the circumstances leading up to her death.
The woman's next of kin has been informed and we are awaiting formal identification.
If anyone has information that could help police piece together the events leading up to the woman's death they should call 101 and quote incident 166s of 26 December 2016.
