SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. — The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office is asking for the public’s help identifying a woman who died in January.
She died Jan. 25, 2026, at Sutter Medical Center from natural causes, according to the coroner’s office. A few days earlier, during her hospital admission, she told staff she was unable to provide her name.
Officials said the woman identified herself as 39 years old, though her estimated age range is between 25 and 40. She is described as a Black/African American woman, about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 149 pounds. She had medium-length black hair styled into light-brown or reddish dreadlocks and brown eyes. Officials said she wore eyeglasses because of vision impairment and had teeth in very good condition.
The woman also shared with officials that she had a specific medical condition that would be familiar to her family and friends, and that she was allergic to blueberries.
Fingerprint analysis didn’t produce any results, the coroner’s office said.
Authorities said she had several distinctive tattoos, including a sailor’s wheel on her left torso below and to the left of her left breast, “smile now, cry later” theater masks on her right shoulder or back area, and a tattoo near her right eye resembling a sun or star with a moon beneath it.
The coroner’s office released a sketch of the woman and is urging anyone who may recognize her or have information about her identity to call 916-874-9320 or via email at DeputyCoroner@saccounty.gov.
