MILLCREEK — Police have confirmed the body of a 40-year-old woman was found behind a parking lot on Highland Drive.
The body was found in a canal behind an office building at 4141 S. Highland Drive, Lt. Justin Hoyal of the Unified Police Department said.
The woman's death does not appear to be suspicious, Winder said. Investigators believe the woman's body was in the river for less than 24 hours.
Winder said it appears the woman slid into the canal about 30 to 40 yards away from where it was found. Police are working to determine why she couldn't get herself out of the canal, which is less than 2 feet deep.
Police have identified the woman, Winder said, but the woman's name was not immediately released pending family notification.
Additional information will be posted as it becomes available.
