A report of an unidentified object floating in a pond at 202 Broadview Road prompted the dispatch of Pennsylvania State Police and criminal investigation units on Monday, November 6th, at 10:39 a.m.

Following an examination, the object was determined to be the body of an unknown deceased female, later identified as Kele Diane Townsend.

Tim Carson, along with Deputy Coroner Sean Hribal, arrived at the scene at 12:25 p.m.

Initially, investigators had reported that the race of the unidentified female was unknown. She was described as being approximately 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 5 inches tall, with an unknown weight.

Kele Diane Townsend, now identified as the deceased female, had several tattoos on her chest, left arm, and upper right arm. Notably, she had a large tattoo of a blue cat with a yellow scroll on her left thigh and a black star tattoo on her right thigh.

At the time of her discovery, Townsend was found wearing black Aeropostale leggings and a black shirt with the phrases “XL,” “XEROLIMITS,” and “BECAUSE LARGE ISN’T BIG ENOUGH” printed on it.

Jewelry items, including a belly button post and three necklaces, were also found on the deceased female.

The cause and manner of Kele Diane Townsend’s death are pending the results of the autopsy, toxicology tests, and further investigation, as stated by the coroner’s office on Monday.

The Westmoreland County Coroner’s Office is receiving assistance from the Pennsylvania State Police in this ongoing investigation.
