A ritzy Hamptons village has been left on edge after a woman was found dead inside a docked boat at a yacht club.
The unidentified victim was located on a boat at the lavish Montauk Yacht Club 4am Tuesday, according to Suffolk County police.
The woman’s body has not been identified and the manner of death is unknown, a spokesperson with the agency told Daily Mail.
Detectives with the Suffolk County Police Homicide Squad are investigating the mysterious discovery.
The Montauk Yacht Club did not respond when contacted by Daily Mail.
The club, which is connected to a resort and hotel next to the marina, has rooms which cost as much as $1,500 a night – along with luxe amenities like pools, a fitness center, tennis courts, and a luxurious restaurant.
A manager, who spoke under anonymity, told Greater Long Island: ‘It’s an ongoing investigation. We’re being kept out of the loop for now.’
Violent crimes are unusual in the upscale Long Island beach and resort area that is known for its monstrous mansions and high-end dining.
