"The body was found by rescue teams conducting a search and rescue operation. It was in good condition and fully clothed," he said at the scene.
The body was then brought to the riverbank for identification before being transported to the forensic department at Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital (HSNZ) by police vehicle for an autopsy.
