PORTLAND, Ore. – A woman's body was found Tuesday afternoon and Portland police are investigating how she died.

Her body was found at an apartment complex in the 1400 block of Southeast Belmont Street at about 2 p.m.

A neighbor across the hall told KATU News that he told Belmont Court management on Saturday about a "dead body smell" coming from the woman's unit but that management didn't immediately act. It was not until Tuesday that police were called.

The neighbor said he hadn't seen her for a month and that she was 33 years old. He knew her for about a year.

Other neighbors said the woman was nice and was seen walking her dog every once in a while.

The Portland Police Bureau's Mobile Crime Command Center was at the scene.
