The San Francisco Medical Examiner identified the woman who was found dead inside a duffel bag in Golden Gate Park, spokespersons said Monday.
The 37-year-old, who was pronounced dead at the scene a day earlier, was identified as Kelly Koike, a resident of San Francisco. Police said they found the woman by Fulton Street and 22nd Avenue after reportedly being notified by a dog walker who had walked by the duffel bag, a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation said.
The body was found near the massive Outside Lands Music Festival in Golden Gate Park.
San Francisco police spokespersons said Monday that the Office of the Medical Examiner had declared the death suspicious but had made no reference to the cause of death. Investigators from SFPD’s Homicide Detail are leading the investigation. 
No arrests have been made, spokespersons said.
In an interview with The Chronicle, Koike’s mother, Roya Koike, said her daughter grew up in Castro Valley and graduated from Castro Valley High School before going to culinary school in San Francisco. According to her mother, Kelly Koike was studious and jaw-droppingly beautiful, with a very big heart.
After being diagnosed with a slew of mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and catatonia, Kelly Koike wound up living on the street in San Francisco, Roya Koike said. At various points, Roya Koike said she had tried to help her daughter, saying she was welcome to live at home if she followed the rules. 
When her daughter was “herself, we were best buddies,” Roya Koike said.
