Houston police are investigating the death of a person whose body was found floating near the bank of the Buffalo Bayou this morning in East Houston.
The body was discovered about 9:30 a.m. by a passerby walking his dog in Tony Marron Park off North York near Navigation, police said.
Officials said they don’t know if the body is male or female or an adult.
Edward Rios said his dog, Cain, ran down a shallow drainage ditch to the edge of the bayou. Rios chased his dog and then saw the body floating in the water near the bank.
“I saw something floating in the water,” Rios said. “It looked like a person. I snagged it with a stick and brought it to shore. Then I realized it was a person.
Rios said the person was wearing a blue flannel shirt and seemed to have reddish blonde hair.
His friend, Monica Guajardo, asked a nearby jogger to call 911.
Guajardo said she regularly walks along the walking trail in the park and lives nearby. She said she was shocked to know that someone was dead in the water.
“It’s bad and scary,” she said. “That’s somebody’s family member.”
