The Body has been identified as Nathaniel C. Henderson, age 45, a resident of Rocky River. I identification was complete through finger printing.

Police, Fire and Lakewood Observer extend condolences to his family.



At 6:59pm tonight a male called the Coast Guard to report a body floating near Lakewood Park. When the police and fire got there they found the body on the far north east side of the park floating in water near the trees. The Lakewood Fire Department then used their inflatable boat to retrieve the body.
