HAMILTON, Ohio — The body of a 45-year-old woman from Dayton was discovered in the Great Miami River near Canal Road in Hamilton, the Butler County Sheriff's Office said on Thursday.
Officials said Erica Lynn Tooson's body was recovered from the river Tuesday afternoon. An investigation into her death is ongoing, but the sheriff's office said there does not appear to be any evidence of foul play at this time.
