EVERETT — Investigators have identified the body of a woman found inside a yard waste bin<\/a> in Marysville more than a week ago.<\/p>\n

The woman has been identified as 40-year-old Sara Arneklev, of Marysville, according to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office.<\/p>\n

The Marysville Police Department said her cause of death is still pending as the medical examiner’s office awaits toxicology results, according to a press release.<\/p>\n

Arneklev’s body was found on April 29 inside a yard waste bin in the 5700 block of Grove Street by a resident who was bringing in the container after regular collection, police said at the time.<\/p>\n

Arneklev was known to local officers as someone experiencing homelessness, according to police.<\/p>\n

Detectives are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death and are asking anyone who may have information to call police at 360-363-8378.<\/p>\n
