The death of a woman found in a bin at a unit block on Sydney's northern beaches is no longer being treated as suspicious.
A crime scene was established at the apartments in Wyndora Avenue, Freshwater, after the body was discovered about 1.15pm on Wednesday.
Police said they believed the woman died from misadventure or a medical episode and were waiting for post-mortem tests to confirm the cause of death.
The woman has not yet been identified and police are preparing a report for the coroner.
Jess Jan lives across the road from the unit block.
She said her friend raised the alarm after taking rubbish to the bins.
"She went to put something in the rubbish bin and she found something and rang the police," she said.
"It's just a shock to hear that something like that could've happened to someone who lives there."
