BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — Crews in Battle Creek have removed a body from the Kalamazoo River.
Calhoun County dispatchers tell FOX 17 crews received a call about 1:05 a.m. Sunday after a fisherman in the river noticed a body at Stringham Road and Jackson Street.
That is about a mile or so downstream from where 31-year-old Cortez Lewis, of Detroit, is believed to have driven into the river on March 4 . Surveillance video captured his vehicle driving into the Kalamazoo River near Dickman Road and Capitol Avenue.
That vehicle was pulled from the river on March 12, but he was not inside.
Police say the person’s identity is unknown at this time until an autopsy will be performed.
