The stream is in the city of Carson between Interstate 405 and the SouthBay Pavilion Mall.
The woman's body has a large skin tag on the right portion of her torso and stretch marks on her lower abdomen, the medical examiner's office reported.
Her age, race, height, and weight are not yet able to be determined, the coroner wrote.

The woman's cause and manner of death were pending Friday.
