Dead body found in San Gabriel River

AZUSA -- A dead body was found Saturday in the San Gabriel River in Azusa, but no foul play was immediately suspected, police said.
The body was discovered just before 3 p.m. near the 3700 block of Fish Canyon Road, said Sgt. John Madaloni of the Azusa Police Department.
Someone called police and reported the body, and directed police to the location when they arrived.
"Due to the swift-running water, officers determined that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's rescue helicopter was needed to confirm the citizen's observation," Madaloni said.
The body was recovered but has not yet been positively identified, Madaloni said.
An investigation into the death was under way, and the cause of death was expected to be determined by the coroner's office, Madaloni said.
"No signs of foul play are apparent at this time," he said.
