"A second woman has been found dead at the same League City marina where a mother of four was found hanged from a dock three weeks ago.
The League City Police Department said investigators have not ruled out a possible connection.

When Salazar-Tapia was found suspended from the dock, one of her arms was unusually extended above her head.

Cox said this led police to believe she died elsewhere and that she was in another position when rigor mortis set in. He said they believe her body was then staged to make it appear as though she committed suicide by hanging herself.

Police have not released the identity of the second woman found dead on a boat docked at the marina on July 19. They are waiting on autopsy results but preliminarily believe her death may have been an overdose."
