ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rochester Police confirmed that a body has been found in the Genesee River in the area of Turning Point Park.

The RPD responded at about 6:50 p.m. and was assisted by the Rochester Fire Department’s marine unit.

Police said the person found was taken to the Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office for further investigation. They say there has been no identification made yet, and the circumstances of the person’s death are unclear.

“They’ll do an identification for us, which, depending on the level of decomposition could take several days,” Police Chief David Smith said as efforts continued to retrieve the body. “… I wouldn’t be able to estimate how long it’s been in the water, if it’s male or female; couldn’t tell you race at this point either.”
