A woman was found dead Sunday morning, floating in the Mediterranean Sea near the city of Rishon Lezion in central Israel.

Following reports of a body in the water at the separate beach, paramedics from Magen David Adom arrived at the scene and pulled her out.

The woman was pronounced dead.

“When we arrived there we saw a 50-year-old woman fully dressed in the water without any signs of life,” a paramedic from Magen David Adom said.

“She had no pulse and was not breathing, and after performing medical checks at the scene we were forced to declare her dead.”

The circumstances of her death are being investigated.
