KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Authorities have released the name of the elderly Kelseyville woman whose body was found last week in the Clear Lake Riviera by a Pokemon Go player.
Lt. Steve Brooks of the Lake County Sheriff's Office identified the woman as 84-year-old Mary Ann Billings.
Billings' remains were discovered Aug. 2 by a man who was playing the popular new video game on his smartphone while out for a walk in a field near his home, as Lake County News has reported.
Brooks said the man called law enforcement, with deputies and later the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit responding to the scene.
Detectives saw no sign of trauma when examining Billings' remains, and Brooks said it did not appear that her body had been there long.
Billings lived alone but her son resided nearby, said Brooks.
He said the sheriff's office did not receive a missing person's report about Billings, who had last been seen by her son on Aug. 1, the day before her body was found.
Brooks said Billings' son reported that his mother had appeared pale the last time he saw her.
Billings had a history of Alzheimer's disease, Brooks said, adding that in March she had called the sheriff's office after she lost her keys and couldn't get into her home.
Brooks said an autopsy was performed last week, with the sheriff's office waiting for the pathologist to determine Billings' cause of death.
