The Amity Police Department is investigating the death of a teenage girl whose body was found washed up on Amity Beach this morning. The cause of her death is currently unknown.
The girl, identified as Wendy Watson, 16, of 23 Sharkstooth St. in Amity was last seen alive leaving a beach party with an unidentified male at around 11 p.m. yesterday.
According to her companion, Watson entered the water at a remote section of the beach and did not return. Her companion then notified police that Watson was missing.
A brief search by police resulted in the discovery of Watson body, which was severely mauled by an unknown attacker. Her body is currently undergoing an autopsy and no charges have yet been filed in the case.
Though a shark attack has not been completely ruled out as the cause of Watson's death, the beaches on the island will remain open for swimming and the police assure that swimmers are not in danger.
