CLEVELAND (AP) - The U.S. Coast Guard says it has pulled a body from Lake Erie near a fishing area on Cleveland's east side.
The Coast Guard says the body was spotted Saturday afternoon at the Intercity Yacht Club and apparently had been in the water for quite a while.
A Coast Guard spokesman said Cleveland police received a 911 call around 3 p.m. Saturday and asked Cleveland firefighters and the Coast Guard for assistance in recovering the body.
The body was transferred to the Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County Medical Examiner's Office for further investigation.
Authorities say the body did not appear to match any previous search reports.
