SAN FRANCISCO —On the morning of Friday, March 5, tragedy struck the Bay. A 28-year-old woman was found dead after disappearing from a Bay Area ferry. At this time, it is not yet clear if the woman's death was accidental or if she was attempting to commit suicide.

By the weekend following the woman's death, the woman's identity was divulged by the city's Office of the Medical Examiner. The woman was possibly a vagrant or was traveling. Her name was Shayla Hudson.

It is not currently known if the deceased was a local or if she was visiting the area. There are currently no further details on the identity of the woman.

The events unfolded between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Monday, when the young woman came aboard a ferry leaving from Oakland and bound for San Francisco. At some point between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., crew members on the boat began to look for the woman, who could not be found.

Between 8:30 a.m. and 9:15 a.m., the Coast Guard was called in to help find the missing woman; at the time, it was unknown if the missing woman was living or dead. After scouring the idea, the body was found and brought back to San Francisco.
