PHOTO UPDATE: Body Found in Fox River at Fabyan Forest Preserve

Geneva police, Batavia police, coroner, Hazmat on the scene.

A body has been found near the Fox River and the bridge at Fabyan Forest Preserve.

Kane Country Coroner Chuck West arrived at around 4:55 p.m.

Geneva police aren't letting reporters near the water, so it's difficult to see what's happening, but yellow police tape surrounds an area near the river not far from the forest preserve entrance off of Route 25 near the windmill. The roped-off area is near the footbridge that crosses the river.
