Body found under Wasena bridge isn’t believed to be result of foul play
Roanoke police investigating the death of a female whose body was found Tuesday under a bridge do not believe foul play was involved, a spokeswoman said.
A crew on a Norfolk Southern coal train spotted the body near the train tracks under the Wasena bridge about 7:30 a.m.
A medical examiner was called to the scene and will determine the cause and manner of death after an autopsy.
The body had not been identified as of Tuesday evening, but police, responding to speculation, said it is not that of Morgan Harrington of Roanoke County, who went missing from a Metallica concert in Charlottesville on Oct. 17.
