Zagreb police received a report on Monday evening about a body in the Sava River, after which a patrol was dispatched to the scene. The body of an as-yet-unidentified man was found in the shallows, upstream from the Jadranski Bridge.
Investigation hampered by darkness and terrain
According to unofficial information, traces of blood were visible on the body. After it was pulled ashore in the Novi Zagreb area, police officers began an investigation that, due to difficult conditions and the night, continued into the late evening hours.
Currently, the police have not yet released additional details about what exactly happened, and the investigation being conducted by detectives is still active.
Body sent for autopsy
After the police procedures are completed, the body will be transported to the Institute of Forensic Medicine and Criminology. The autopsy will determine the identity of the deceased and the exact cause of death.
