Man's Body Recovered From Hoboken Waterfront (UPDATE)

HOBOKEN, NJ — A man's body was recovered from the Hudson River in Hoboken on Sunday, the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office said.

Police closed two Hoboken waterfront parks due to an "investigation in the area," they posted on social media Sunday afternoon.

The Prosecutor's Office said in a subsequent message before 4 p.m. that they were responding to a "deceased male" recovered on the waterfront.

The Hoboken police wrote, "Heads up City of Hoboken. Pier C is currently closed, with Hoboken PD and Hudson County Prosecutor conducting an investigation in the area."

They said that part of Sinatra Park, north of Pier C, was also closed.

"There is NO danger to the public, but please avoid the area," police said.

They noted that the Fire Department and emergency services were also on hand.

The last police activity on the central waterfront occurred last month, when, according to prosecutors, a man was arrested for allegedly shooting another man in the back of the head and dumping him in the river. READ MORE: Bergen County Man Fatally Shot Victim On Hoboken Pier: Prosecutor
