By STEVE THOMPSONShe was white, young to middle-aged, with brown hair pulled back from her face and was wearing only a blouse.
TRINITY - A guest at a wedding rehearsal dinner stumbled upon a corpse Thursday evening in woods at the end of a cul-de-sac.
The body was 10 or 15 feet from the end of Cheltnam Court, covered in debris, said Don Watts, who lives on the cul-de-sac and whose only daughter is getting married this weekend.
The body appeared to be that of a young to middle-aged white woman with brown hair pulled back from her face, Watts said. The body was visible from the road, Watts said, and it appeared that the woman was wearing only a blouse.
"If I would have to take a guess, someone dumped her there," Watts said.
Pasco County sheriff's detectives gathered at the scene about 8 p.m. in the well-to-do neighborhood of Wyndtree Village.
Sheriff's Sgt. James Sessa said it was too early to speculate on a cause of death.
