London police are continuing to investigate after the body of a woman was pulled from the Thames River early Wednesday afternoon near the downtown core, however, investigators say they don’t believe the case to be suspicious in nature.
Police were called to the scene around 12:30 p.m. in the river off of the Thames Valley Parkway between the King Street pedestrian bridge and York Street.
“An individual was located in the river and that individual was found to be deceased,” London police spokesperson Const. Sandasha Bough said at the scene on Wednesday.
Little information has been released, however, police did reveal Thursday that the deceased individual had been confirmed to be a woman.
No other identifying information has been or will be made public pending notification of next of kin, police said.
