Published: Monday, October 31, 2011, 3:00 AM By Charles Hack/The Jersey Journal The body of an unidentified middle-aged woman was recovered Saturday morning from the Hudson River near the Newport community in Jersey City, officials said yesterday. The Jersey City Police Department was notified about a body floating close to the shore behind 31 River Court around 8:30 a.m., Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said. Responding firefighters removed the body from the water and the medical examiner declared the woman, who appeared to be Asian, dead at the scene at 8:55 a.m., DeFazio said. The woman did not have any identification on her but two New York City transit Metrocards were found in her pocket, he said. DeFazio said the prosecutor?s office is trying to identify the woman, who was wearing a brown floral print blouse, dark blue jeans, brown-hooded jacket and brown shoes. There were ?no obvious signs of trauma? to the body, he said. Anyone with information about this matter should contact the Prosecutor?s Office Homicide Unit at (201) 915-1345.
