Rome Police are investigating after the body of a 29-year-old woman was discovered Tuesday morning in downtown Rome, between the Cotton Block and Bridgepoint Plaza. Authorities have stated there is no evidence of foul play at this time, and the death does not appear suspicious.

According to Rome Police Public Information Officer Kelly Madden, officers and Rome-Floyd Fire/EMS personnel responded at approximately 8:20 a.m. on October 28, 2025, to a call regarding an unresponsive female. First responders located the 29-year-old woman behind a business near the 0 block of Broad Street. Despite emergency medical aid initiated by personnel, she was later pronounced deceased at the scene.

A preliminary investigation by Rome Police indicates the woman had recently walked to the location where she was found. “At this time, there is no evidence of foul play, and the death does not appear suspicious,” Madden confirmed in a statement released Tuesday afternoon.
