Police: Second body pulled from Ohio River in two days

CINCINNATI, Ohio ( WDTN ) — Police have confirmed a second body was pulled from the Ohio River Saturday less than a mile from where another was discovered just a day earlier.

The Cincinnati Police Department say a body was pulled from the Ohio River near the Brent Spence Bridge on Saturday. Traffic on the bridge was temporarily stalled while crews were on scene.

Another body was pulled from the river near the Taylor Southgate Bridge around 8 p.m. on Friday.

It is unknown how either person died or wound up in the river, or if the two instances are connected. However, police confirmed to NBC affiliate WLWT that Saturday’s discovery is being investigated as a homicide.

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office and Boone County Water Rescue responded to both scenes.
