The body of an elderly woman was discovered in a river in the south end of the Boistfort Valley this morning.
Firefighters and deputies were called about 10:15 a.m. to the area off Wildwood Road, about a mile from Jones Road, according to Lewis County Fire District 13.
Fire Chief Gregg Peterson said the South Fork of the Chehalis River is about a foot and half deep in that area.
“I don’t really know any of the details, we turned it over to the coroner’s office,” Peterson said.
Detectives are investigating, but the death didn’t seem suspicious, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.
Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said she expected she would have more information in the morning.
