This one seems solvable as she has a recognizable face.
I'm really curious about the items found in her bra.
Pictures of those items might help.
Was anything written on the pieces of paper?
And it says she had a lower denture in her bra but the file doesn't specify if it was HER lower denture.
That should be a big clue if it was hers.

I'm hypothesizing that she was homeless and was keeping her most important possessions in her bra for safekeeping.

Also, I kind of wish they'd not added the 'cartoony' eyes to the post mortem photo. It's more distracting than helpful, imho.

If she was carrying medals in her bra she went to one of the spanish speaking services most likely. I would post a request for information (without the post mortem) in the church bulletins.

Well she had a DVT in both legs, i doubt she met with foul play, she likely passed away from a complication of DVT such as pulmonary embolism.
She likely had no or little access to medical emergency care. Having had two DVT before all I can say is that it hurts like hell...
I agree she likely was transient or homeless.
In some cultures, religious medals are worn close to the skin or close to the heart for protection. She may have thought the medals heal her pain.

Oh my gosh - I cannot even begin to imagine that kind of pain!! Curious as to where you saw about the DVTs - I couldn't find it but maybe don't have access to that part of NamUs or something?

Also, I stuff all sorts of things in my bra for temporary safekeeping and wow, she had a lot of stuff in there! I so wish we could see the items she had, especially the papers.

Does anyone else think that her hair looks super, super curly? Like African American hair with a natural style?

Wow - it took me like 4 times reading through to actually *see* that! Wow. Sometimes it's like I don't have two brain cells to rub together. So frustrating. Thank you
