Amity, Mass. – A teenage girl was found dead on South Beach in Amity last night. The cause of death has not yet been determined.
The Amity Police Department identified the 16-year-old as Wendy W. Watson of 23 Sharkstooth St. According to the police report, Watson was last seen alive leaving a beach party at 11 pm with an unidentified male.
Witnesses at the party said both teenagers had been drinking, and Watson decided to go skinny-dipping at a remote section of the beach. After she didn’t return from the water, Watson’s companion notified police that she was missing at 3 am.
After searching for a few hours, police discovered Watson’s mangled body early this morning washed up on the beach. Her body has been sent to the coroner’s office for an autopsy. No charges have been filed.
While police continue their investigation into the incident and the possibility of a shark attack, Chief of Police Martin P. Brody urged residents to remain calm. “We want to assure all residents and visitors on our fine island that they are in no danger,” he said. “Our lovely beaches will remain open for swimming pending the outcome of the investigation.”
