A New London woman was found dead behind a New London commercial building a day before her birthday.

New London police responded to 36 Bank Street Friday morning after a concerned citizen found an unresponsive female, alerting others. They found a 26-year-old woman, identified as Emily Eshenfelder, 26, of New London. Medical personnel pronounced her dead at the scene. She would have turned 27 on Saturday.

New London police and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner are investigating her cause of death.
