Authorities say a woman’s body was recovered from the Monongahela River Thursday morning.

According to Pittsburgh police, officers went to the Homestead Grays Bridge around 10:15 a.m. in response to a report of an unoccupied, possibly disabled vehicle in the southbound lanes.

Around the same time, a person called 911 and said he was in Duck Hollow and heard something splash into the water.

River Rescue and a fire boat responded to search the area. The fire boat found the woman’s body and River Rescue pulled her from the water.

The woman, who was not identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police are asking that anyone who was on the bridge or in Duck Hollow who might have seen anything related to the case call them at 412-323-7161.
