19-year-old Yolonda Mumbulla was found dead in North Bondi on Tuesday.

Two men will face court on drug charges after the body of a 19-year-old woman was found in a North Bondi unit in Sydney's eastern suburbs this week.

Yolonda Mumbulla was found dead on Tuesday morning at around 9:20am, after emergency services were called to the apartment on Hardy Street following reports of an unresponsive woman. 

A 32-year-old man who had an outstanding warrant was arrested at the scene and taken to Waverley Police Station.

Police later searched a Bondi home on Flood Street and allegedly seized one gram of methylamphetamine and cannabis.

A 34-year-old man was also arrested at the address and charged with two counts of possessing a prohibited drug. He was with a field court attendance notice.

The 32-year-old man was later charged with the outstanding warrant for larceny, three counts of entering a vehicle or boat without consent, destroying or damaging property, hindering or resisting a police officer in the execution of duty and having suspected stolen goods.

He was refused bail to appear before Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday.

A post-mortem examination will be conducted to determine Yolonda's cause of death. No charges have been laid over her death. 

Yolonda is being remembered by friends and family as "funny, full of joy and always there to help anyone".

GoFundMe page has been set up on behalf of her family.

More to come.
