Fisherman Finds Woman's Unidentified Body In Lake Erie

PORT CLINTON, Ohio (AP) - Ohio authorities say a fisherman has found the unidentified body of a woman in western Lake Erie.

The Sandusky Register reports the Ottawa County coroner has said the fisherman found the body floating in the lake around 5 p.m. Saturday about 4 miles (6 kilometers) north of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station.

Coroner Daniel Cadigan says the body had been in the water for some time and that it doesn't appear to have any signs of trauma.
