Autopsy expected on body found in Ohio River

Posted: Updated:
HENDERSON CO., KY (WFIE) -

An autopsy is expected to be performed today on a body found by children in the Ohio River.

Authorities say three local kids were walking near the river Sunday afternoon when they noticed the body.

Henderson and Evansville rescue crews responded to the scene after police say the kids told their grandparents what they saw.

Since the body was discovered in Henderson territory, just west of the twin bridges, Kentucky State Police claimed the investigation.

Henderson Coroner Bruce Farmer says there is no initial indication of foul play in this case. He also says Kentucky State Police are checking missing persons cases.
