LEAGUE CITY, Texas (KTRK) – For the second time in weeks, League City police are investigating the death of a woman at a marina.

On Wednesday afternoon, officers were called to the Wharf Marina in the 700 block of Davis Road, where a woman was found not breathing on one of the boats docked there. The woman is believed to have died of a drug overdose, but the medical examiner has yet to confirm the cause of death.

The identity of the woman was not released. Authorities questioned one person.

Just last month, neighbors discovered the body of Giselle Salazar-Tapia hanging from a dock in the same location. League City police believe a foul play was committed in that case.

The 30-year-old mother of four was found partially underwater. Investigators do not believe Salazar-Tapia hanged herself. Rather, they believe her body was staged to look as if she had hanged herself after dying elsewhere.

Several residents told ABC13 on Wednesday they were scared. They said squatters in the marina had brought drugs into the area and now two women have died in just three weeks.

The cause of Salazar-Tapia’s death has not yet been determined and her case remains under investigation.

Police said there were two people of interest in her case, whom they described only as those closest to her in recent times.

A relative of Salazar-Tapia told ABC13 her family wants to find out what happened to her and find the person or people responsible for her death.

“My sister didn’t deserve this at all. She was so nice,” the relative said.
