(KAIR)--A body was recovered Sunday from the Missouri River at Atchison.
That was confirmed early Sunday afternoon by Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson.
Wilson told MSC News a person jogging near the river notified authorities late Sunday morning that a body was floating in the water.
Police responded, notifying the Atchison Fire Department, with that agency using their rescue boat to retrieve the body from the river at the south end of the city
Wilson said an investigation is underway, and it's not immediately believed that the body is that of someone from the immediate, local area. Instead, it's suspected that the body floated to Atchison from a northern location.
Wilson said the body is that of an adult white male, and has been transported to a pathologist for examination.
