AMITY, MASS.--A young female was found dead on South Beach in Amity in the early hours of the morning.
The cause of death has not yet been identified, but a press release from Chief of Police Martin P. Brody suggests that the girl’s tragic death may be the result of a shark attack.
Sixteen-year-old Wendy W. Watson of 23 Sharkstooth St. in Amity was last seen alive leaving a beach party with an unidentified male at about 11 p.m. yesterday.
According to the press release, “She decided to go skinny-dipping and entered the water at a remote section of the beach.” Witnesses at the party said both teenagers had been drinking during the evening Watson’s companion contacted authorities when she did not return from the water.
After a brief search, Watson’s mangled body was found washed up on the shore. Her attacker remains unknown, but Chief of Police Brody assures Amity residents that police are continuing their investigation and visitors on our fine island “are in no danger.”
