Peoria police were notified of Rosalie Young's passing by the Mohave County Sheriff's Office. 

Mohave County is handling the death investigation. Investigators say there does not appear to be foul play or any suspicious circumstances.  

Peoria police said Young was last seen Aug. 17 at her home near 79th Avenue and Cactus Road.
