AMITY, MA- The Amity Police Department discovered the body of a missing teenage girl on South Beach on July 1.
The girl is 16-year-old Wendy W. Watson of Amity. She was last seen alive leaving a beach party with an unidentified male at 11 p.m.
Witnesses at the party say that the two had been drinking. Her male companion told police that Watson decided to go skinny-dipping in the water. When she did not come out he phoned the police at 3 a.m.
A brief search took place early this morning, when a deputy found Watson’s mangled body on the beach.
The cause of death is still unknown, and Watson’s body has been sent to the coroner’s office for an autopsy. No charges have been filed in the case at this point.
“Though a shark attack has not been completely ruled out,” said Chief of Police Martin P. Brody. “We want to assure all residents and visitors on our fine island that they are in no danger.”
Brody has confirmed that beaches in the area will stay open until further notice.
