Body Found In Galveston Bay

Authorities in Texas City are trying to identify a body after it was discovered by a fisherman in Galveston Bay Saturday afternoon. Brian Goetschius, a Texas City Police Captain, added that the body was found along the south side of the Texas City dike. Investigators were unable to determine whether the body was that of a man or a woman. "It appears to have been in the water for a while," Goetschius said, noting the body had badly decomposed. Further investigation is pending an autopsy by the Galveston County Medical Examiner's Office.
