A woman's body was been found in bushland in western Sydney on Sunday after a passer-by made the grisly discovery. Police were called to reserve off Irwin Street at Werrington just after 1pm. The woman has yet to be identified, but is believed to be middle aged. Specialist police are on the scene and her cause of death has yet to be determined.

Police found other items, including clothing, around the body. Asked how long the body had been there, Supt King said: 'Certainly a period of time, it's very difficult to ascertain at this stage… We're hoping in the next couple of days through post-mortem examination and the (forensic examination of the scene), we will have further information about that.
