Milwaukee police are investigating the death of a 64-year-old Waukesha woman who was found dead Monday morning behind a supply store on the city's north side.

The woman was found at 7:15 a.m. near the intersection of N. 22nd St. and W. Capitol Drive, spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz said.

"Investigators do not believe there was foul play involved," Schwartz said in an e-mail. "The woman suffered from mental health issues, and preliminary indications are that there is nothing suspicious about her death at this time. We continue to investigate. We are not releasing her name at this time as we have not been able to notify her family."

A woman living in a house nearby told Today's TMJ4 she was the one who called police after she saw a pair of white tennis shoes.
