SOUTH SALT LAKE — A body was recovered Tuesday in an area next to the Jordan River used by South Salt Lake water treatment officials.

South Salt Lake police spokeswoman Danielle Croyle did not know if the remains were of a man or woman. She said they were taken to the Utah State Medical Examiner’s Office to determine an identification and cause of death.

The body was spotted about noon in the area of 2600 South and 900 West. It was wedged in a concrete structure where water from a nearby canal flows into it and is then released into the Jordan River, Croyle said. By 3:45 p.m. South Salt Lake fire crews had assisted police in recovering the body.

No other information was immediately available.
