Mystery of woman who jumped into Thames

18.05.12

The woman had no identification on her, and officers from Kensington and Chelsea have been trying to find out who she is, but all of their efforts have so far proved fruitless.

An artist's impression has now been issued in the hope that someone can recognise her.

She is of white, European appearance, aged between 35 and 55, about 5ft 7in and of medium build. She had collar length grey hair and no discernible markings on her body.

The woman was found wearing flat black 'Zone' shoes, a black shirt, black tights, three black jumpers and a thigh length black velvet coat.

A post mortem four days after she died was inconclusive, and police are waiting for toxicology results.

Sergeant Debbie Bailey from the Kensington and Chelsea missing persons unit said: "We are appealing to anyone who recognises this woman or the items she was wearing to get in contact with us.

"She may have family and loved ones who are unaware of what has happened and it is vital we ensure they are made aware of her death."
