A missing trans woman has unfortunately been found dead, but the circumstances surrounding her death remain a mystery.

Day Rodas’ body was discovered last Thursday around 7:45 a.m. between the intersection of Mulholland Drive and Highway and Decker Road, and Mulholland and Westlake Boulevard, near El Matador Beach in Malibu, California, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

As of now, preliminary information indicates the 27-year-old’s death was likely due to an overdose — however, the incident is being further investigated as a homicide as it appeared her body may have been brought to the location post-mortem, according to officials.

Her exact cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
