Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating after the body of a Washington woman was recovered from the White River on Thursday.
Authorities were called to the Maysville Public Access Site around 9:30 a.m. after a group of swimmers reported two individuals had been swept downriver.
Officers rescued one of the victims, a juvenile, who was found on a sand bar downstream. The juvenile was taken to Daviess Community Hospital for medical evaluation.
The body of 21-year-old Kathrynn Bottoms of Washington was later recovered by DNR personnel.
Assisting agencies included the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office and Daviess Community Hospital EMS.
Indiana Conservation Officers remind the public to always wear a life jacket when on or near the water.
