A woman was found dead inside a large duffle bag in Golden Gate Park on Sunday evening, and San Francisco police were responding to the scene at Fulton Street and 22nd Avenue.
The corpse was discovered around 7:24 p.m. near the Outside Lands concert, a three-day event that was concluding Sunday evening.
The medical examiner’s office and homicide investigators were also responding to the scene, which is north of the Stow Lake boathouse.
Officer Kevin Gil, who was on the scene, said a dog walker first encountered the bag.
As officers with flashlights searched a vegetated area cordoned off with police tape, festivalgoers leaving Outside Lands and residents of Fulton Street looked on with curiosity.
A local resident who said he lives at Fulton Street and 20th Avenue and would give his name only as Drew was walking his dog named Pig near the area Sunday evening. He said the area that police had cordoned off is a small clearing that used to have two yellow Adirondack chairs in it.
He described the area as safe.
