A woman’s body was found floating in the Hudson River off Lower Manhattan late Wednesday – and cops are investigating whether she is the same person who vanished into the waterway a day earlier, despite the life-saving efforts of good Samaritans, authorities said.
The yet-unidentified woman was discovered floating in the river, just off Canal and West streets, around 7:50 p.m., police said.
The department’s Harbor Unit responded and removed her from the water, and she was pronounced dead at the scene by EMS workers.
