Autopsy Results Reveal Cause of Death After Woman's Body Found at Suburban Golf Course

The body was that of a 37-year-old woman, believed to be the victim of a suspected homicide, officials said

A woman whose body was found at a suburban golf course Thursday died of a stab wound to the back, autopsy results show. 

According to preliminary findings, there was no indication the victim was severely beaten in the head, as earlier reported, officials said. 

Around 8:15 a.m., an employee of the Bensenville Park District discovered the body near the entrance of the White Pines Golf Course, located in the 500 block of West Jefferson Street, according to park district spokesperson Rick Robbins.

The body was found to be that of a 37-year-old woman, believed to be the victim of a suspected homicide that occurred in the 11500 block of Grand Avenue earlier in the morning, according to the Cook County Sheriff's office.

Police say the woman's body was dumped there and they’re looking at two crime scenes about two miles apart.

Police said Friday two people had been taken into custody but no charges were filed. Her name was not being released pending notification to the family.

Mario Vega, who said he was the victim's neighbor, told NBC 5 she was married and the couple moved to the area about six months ago.

“We see them every day and we seen them last night, so that was crazy, my God,” he said. “They were very quiet.”

Further information on the circumstances surrounding the death was not immediately available.

The Cook and DuPage County Sheriffs' offices continue to investigate.
