Authorities in Minneapolis are investigating a series of body recoveries across the city, including the most recent discovery near the Stone Arch Bridge.
According to FOX9, University of Minnesota police found a body near the bridge, though officials have not released details about the circumstances surrounding the person’s death.
The discovery marks the third body found in Minneapolis over a three-day span.
The first was located around 6 p.m. Saturday in a wooded area near East River Flats park, close to the Mississippi River.
Police later identified the woman found Saturday evening as 56-year-old Karen Lynn Sognesand of Maple Grove, The Minnesota Star Tribune reported.
An obituary for Sognesand remembered her by saying, “The most loving, caring, daughter, sister and friend has left us too soon.
“Her struggle with mental health and the loss of her dad was just too much.”
A second body was discovered Sunday at about 11:30 a.m. near the shoreline of Bde Maka Ska Lake.
“The body was found in a severe state of decomposition, according to a statement from the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board,” the Star Tribune reported.
It is unclear whether the three discovered bodies are linked to a crime.
