BOUNTIFUL — Bountiful police called the death of a missing woman whose body was found Friday morning suspicious.
The Bountiful Police Department received the report of an unconscious woman on Mueller Park Road, east of Bountiful Boulevard near 1800 South, about 8 a.m. Officers arrived on scene and administered medical aid to the woman, who was transported to the hospital where she was pronounced dead, police said.
