An arrest has been made in the death of a Hooper Bay woman that was reported to the Bethel Alaska State Troopers on Monday.

On Monday, at approximately 5:30 pm, the Alaska State Troopers recieved a report of a deceased female in Hooper Bay. A local VPSO responded to the scene to find 27-year-old Hooper Bay resident Pauline Mann deceased at the residence.

Mann’s body was transported to the State Medical Examiner for autopsy, and next of kin were notified.
