DETROIT (AP) -- Detroit police have pulled the body of a woman from the Detroit River.
The Detroit Free Press reports that police Officer Dan Donakowski says a passer-by spotted the body about 9:45 a.m. Thursday near a boat dock in the Delray neighborhood in southwest Detroit.
U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Justin Westmiller says the site was too shallow for its boats, so a Detroit police boat recovered the body.
WWJ-AM and WDIV-TV say the dead woman was black and in her 40s. She was wearing a black jogging suit.
The Wayne County medical examiner's office is conducting an autopsy and working to determine the women's identity.
