The 45-year-old woman was found by authorities at about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. Friends who were concerned because they had not heard from her for several days notified police after they went to check on her, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

When deputies went to her home in the 500 block of East Valley Boulevard, they found her body.
