The Milwaukee Police are investigating the deaths of two people who apparently jumped into the Kinnickinnic River near Chase Avenue around 12:30 AM this morning. A news release from the MPD says that witnesses saw a man jump into the river after arguing with a woman. Shortly after the man jumped, the woman jumped into the river.
The Milwaukee Fire Department recovered the bodies of a 43-year-old man and a yet-to-be identified woman from the river in the area of S 1st Street and S Chase Avenue.
The MPD is continuing to investigate the incident but at this time the MPD says foul play does not appear to be involved.
