A decomposing body of a woman was fished out of the Pasig River after it was discovered by passengers on board a ferry boat Wednesday morning in Manila.

Police described the still unidentified woman to be about 25 to 30 years old, about 5’2” to 5’4” in height and clad in a red blouse, black bra and gray underwear.

Police added that the body of the victim was already in an advanced state of decomposition.

Investigation showed that the body was discovered floating around 6 a.m. Wednesday near Saltug Compound in Barangay 900 Zone 100 in Punta, Sta. Ana.

The ferry boat, filled with about 20 to 30 passengers, was cruising along the river off the shore of Saltug Compound when they saw the body, which they at first thought to be a dead dolphin.

Police said the captain of the ferry boat immediately informed the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) of their find.
