Police investigated joondalup after a woman's body was found on Grand Boulevard on Wednesday morning. Resident Ken Forrest said he came across the scene at 8.30am. Police later said a report from St John paramedics reached them at around 9.45am.

Police said the woman was left at the scene by a yet to be identified male. Detectives were still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death, while officers cordoned off a section of the road and seized CCTV footage from the apartment complex and neighbouring businesses.

For residents living near the closure, the most immediate change was the police presence around the block. Forrest said, "As soon as I walked out there was a bunch of tape around the area and an ambulance. (The police) couldn’t tell us what happened," while Mohammad La Faraj said, "I just hope that our neighbours are safe, I just hope nobody’s hurt. It’s good to know that there are people working on it,"
