The incident was reported at around 3 p.m. near the 9300 block of Northwest 57th Street, Broward Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Claudinne Caro said.

Caro said deputies and fire rescue crews arrived to find the woman dead.

According to her family, Hodgson hadn’t been living at the Tamarac Village apartments for very long.

Crime scene investigators took photos of a white SUV before it was towed away.

A forensics truck was at the scene most of the day as well.

Officials are “currently investigating the circumstances surrounding this death,” Caro said.

Authorities confirmed Thursday that an apparent murder-suicide that happened at the same apartment complex the next day was not related to this death.
