From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Police were trying to discover the identity of a woman whose body remained undiscovered in one of central London's most popular parks for up to three weeks. The dead woman was found by a group of children playing in dense shrubbery near the Queen Mary rose garden in Regent's Park on Wednesday. The woman was in a sitting position propped up against a tree.
Police have ruled out foul play although a post-mortem examination yesterday failed to establish the cause of death. The woman was white, about 5ft 5in, slim with brown hair. She wore a black waistcoat and mauve tracksuit bottoms and was believed to be in her twenties. She had had recent dental work.
