Woman, 29, Is Found Dead in Her Apartment
A woman's body was found yesterday inside her apartment in the Falls Church area of Fairfax County, and Fairfax police said they are investigating the case as a suspicious death.
Police said they were called to the Prestwick Apartments, in the 6100 block of Leesburg Pike, just east of Seven Corners, about 11:20 a.m. to check on the welfare of a resident. They found a 29-year-old woman inside her first-floor apartment, Officer Eddy Azcarate said. Her name was not released pending notification of relatives.
The cause of death was not available yesterday, and Azcarate declined to say why the death was considered suspicious.

Officials Warn of Growing Risk of West Nile
The risk of contracting West Nile virus has increased in Prince William County, health officials warned yesterday, as mosquitoes carrying the virus were discovered at several locations.
Environmental health officials from the county's Mosquito Control Program said that mosquitoes collected in northern Woodbridge, Quantico, the Valley View Drive area of Brentsville, Nokesville, Manassas, Haymarket and Waterfall tested positive for the virus. They urged residents to clean out areas where water can accumulate -- including wading pools, trash can lids and used tires -- to eliminate insect breeding pools and reduce exposure to mosquitoes.
No human cases of West Nile have been reported in Prince William this year. One case has been reported in Fairfax County, health officials said.
