BRIGHAM CITY, Utah — Officials report a woman was pulled from the water in a Brigham City creek and an investigation is underway to determine details surrounding her death.
Police reported the woman, later identified as 61-year-old Fanny Escalona-De Angola, was not dressed for the weather when she was found in the water.
Not much information was made immediately available by Brigham City Police as officials are very early in their investigation.
Just after 10:30 a.m., officials were alerted to a missing person and began searching the area for a woman.
"This morning at 10:37 hours, the Box Elder County Communication Center received a call of a missing person," explained Master Officer Crystal Beck with the Brigham City Police Department. "Officers responded to the residence and met with the complainant who said that his wife was missing."
The man who initially called police is being cooperative in the investigation.
"He just said when he woke up this morning, she was missing," Beck stated.
A short time later, Escalona-De Angola was found "unresponsive" in the Box Elder Creek, officials stated.
Escalona-De Angola was found about two blocks away from the residence where officers initially responded.
"As of right now, we don't have any idea if there was a domestic issue or anything," Beck said. "We have very limited information just because it is an ongoing investigation."
Escalona-De Angola was pulled from the water and taken to the hospital in "unknown conditions."
Police confirmed to FOX 13 News that Escalona-De Angola died and the situation is under investigation.
Officials have no indications pointing to whether the death was suspicious or not.
