Baltimore Police are investigating the death of a woman whose body was found in the Jones Falls under the Howard Street Bridge on Monday afternoon.

Officers pulled the woman’s body from the water around 12:30 p.m. Monday after a citizen alerted police, spokesperson Lindsey Eldridge said in an email. The bridge is located in the 1800 block of North Howard Street.

The body was transported to the chief medical examiner’s office for identification and to determine the cause and manner of death, police officials said.

The Jones Falls extends from Baltimore County to the Inner Harbor, passing through a tunneled section before emerging east of downtown.

The recovery comes a week after 27-year-old Branson Oduor’s body was pulled from the Inner Harbor. The Germantown man, who’d been living in Baltimore, went missing in the early hours of April 4 after leaving The Horse You Came In On Saloon in Fells Point. His disappearance prompted a search by family, friends and other community members.

The recovery of Oduor’s body renewed conversations about why there are no railings around the harbor. Reporting shows that officials in the 1980s opted against putting railings around the harbor for fear people might sit on them and fall over.

After another man’s death in 2018 prompted calls for increased safety features around the harbor, the city added 35 life rings and 26 ladders around the waterfront perimeter from the Rusty Scupper restaurant to Pier 6, officials said.

That hasn’t stopped people from starting a petition to make the waterfront safer after Oduor’s death. The petition has garnered nearly 3,000 signatures.
