Authorities in Minneapolis have reportedly made another grim discovery, with a body found near the city’s Stone Arch Bridge amid a string of recent cases.
According to FOX9, the University of Minnesota Police Department located the body near the bridge, though officials have not released details about what may have led to the person’s death.
The discovery is reportedly 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.
