Woman's body found in River Medway
Coastguards have retrieved the body of a woman
from the River Medway.
They were called just after
7am Sunday after a fisherman reported a body in water
close to The Command House pub, Chatham.
Coastguards removed it from the river at
Chatham Maritime Marina. Kent Police were also at the scene.
A Sheerness lifeboat was launched but turned
back once it was clear it was no longer needed.
Police believe the woman is in her 50s. No
formal identification has taken place yet, although the coroner has
been informed.
It is thought the body was in the water for less than 24 hours.
The death is not being treated as suspicious.
