Police appeal for witnesses after Adelaide woman pond death

Mystery surrounds the death of a woman in a wheelchair who fell into a pond in an Adelaide park.

The 67-year-old woman died in Veale Gardens in Adelaide's southern parklands about 6.30pm yesterday.

Police divers retrieved the body of the Valley View woman from the water, which was about 1.5m deep.

Detectives spoke to the woman's male companion, who was at the scene.

His car was searched last night and three guns and a chainsaw were today seized from his Burnside house.

A post-mortem examination is being conducted and police hope it will help determine whether the death was suspicious.

Witnesses are urged to come forward if they saw a wheelchair-bound woman in the parklands last night.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
