PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland police said a body was found floating in Johnson Creek Saturday afternoon.

William Sanders spotted the body from a nearby apartment complex west of SE 92nd Avenue just before 1 p.m.

"No mistaking. It was quite obvious it was a body," he said.

Police said the body appears to be an adult, but they are not sure if it is a man or woman.

Officers blocked off the area while homicide detectives and forensic division members investigate.

"It could be a lot of different things," said Sgt. Pete Simpson. "Could be somebody who fell off of the bridge. Could be somebody that walked in the water, suicide, there's a number of different possibilities."

Divers removed the body from the creek at around 3:30 p.m.

An autopsy is scheduled for Sunday.
