She was 61-year-old Cynthia Shari Levine, of Charleston.

Levine was found by a member of the public on Tuesday afternoon, at the base of a bluff, near a walking track south of Constant Bay on April 19.

Police appealed for help identifying her, as they had not received any missing persons reports matching Levine's description and there was no vehicle found in the area.

They appealed for the owner of a drone seen flying in the Constant Bay/Doctor Bay area on April 9 to come forward.

Police say at this stage, Levine's death is not thought to be suspicious.
