Body Found Near Georgetown Waterfront Saturday

An unidentified woman was found dead in the C & O Canal behind the House of Sweden Saturday.

 

Police are investigating how the body of a woman came to be floating, half-submerged in the C&O Canal behind the Embassy of Sweden and Thompson Boat Center Saturday morning, WJLA reports.

The unidentified woman's body was transported to the medical examiner's office for an autopsy.

Both WJLA and WUSA9 report that police responded to reports of a person swimming in the canal Friday night, but were unsuccessful in their search efforts. It is unclear whether the woman's body discovered Saturday was related to the Friday night search.
