SAN ANTONIO – Police are investigating after a body was found in the San Antonio River downtown.
Officers were notified shortly after noon on Monday when a passerby found the body in the 100 block of Villita Street, near Main Plaza.
It is unclear how long the body had been in the water.
SAPD said the person was an adult male but their age and identification is unknown.
Police said there were no apparent signs of trauma on the body.
KSAT spoke with residents downtown who said they have seen accidents happen along the river before.
“It’s pretty scary," an unidentified resident told KSAT. “As murky as (the river) is already, you don’t know what’s going on down there.”
The SAPD Homicide Unit will investigate the death.
