Buffalo Police are investigating how a body turned up in the Niagara River.

They responded to a call for a water rescue near the Peace Bridge just after 2 p.m. Monday. Their Underwater Recovery Team recovered the body of a deceased man near the Black Rock Channel.

Police say an autopsy will be conducted by Erie County medical examiners to determine the cause of death.
