Police were called to the riverfront off Goyeau Street and Riverside Drive East around 3:30 p.m. for a report of a marine emergency. Witnesses told police they spotted a body floating in the river. Officers from the WPS Marine Unit retrieved the woman.
Investigators are working to determine the woman's identity and the circumstances surrounding her death.

She is described as a white female, between the ages of 35 and 45 years old, with thinning hair. She was wearing a black suit, a red long-sleeved sweater, black shoes and sunglasses.
