A body was found floating in the Potomac April 17, west of Key Bridge. It was the fourth body found in the Potomac’s waters this month.
According to the Washington Post, “Wednesday’s discovery came about 12:20 p.m., when fire officials said two kayakers pulled the body of an adult male to the shore from a spot about 400 yards west of Key Bridge.
