Rochester Police are investigating the discovery of a body, found in the area of the Genesee Valley Park tennis courts about 6 Saturday morning near the Erie Canal.
Police haven’t said if the body is a man’s or a woman’s, but they say they’re investigating it as a suspicious death at this time. They closed the path, tennis courts and baseball diamonds near Elmwood Avenue and Genesee Street for about eight hours for their investigation.
They were originally called to the park by passersby who thought they saw what looked like it could be a body on fire.
