A body has been found floating in the water off the Liberty State Park shoreline this afternoon, authorities at the scene said.

Authorities have not determined whether it is a man or a woman, as the body is still a good distance from the shore. Jersey City police and firefighters and State Park police responded after a passerby using the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway spotted the body at about 1 p.m., first responders at the scene said.
