Police found the body of a homeless woman behind a Walgreen’s shortly before 10:30 a.m. to the 600 block of North Lake Avenue near Orange Grove Avenue.
Lt. Monica Cuellar of the Pasadena Police Department told Pasadena Now that foul play was not suspected.
The woman, believed to be in her 40s, showed signs that indicated a likely overdose, Cuellar said.
Her identity has not been released pending notification of next of kin, and no further details were immediately available.
In an unrelated incident on Tuesday the body of a 31-year-old man was found wrapped in a blanket near a Goodwill drop-off bin in the 300 block of South Fair Oaks Avenue, near Del Mar Boulevard.
Pasadena Police detectives remained at the scene throughout Tuesday afternoon to investigate “suspicious activity” leading to the discovery.
The victim was identified Wednesday by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner as Shaves Adams, with the cause of death listed as deferred.
Investigations into both deaths are continuing.
