Officials retrieving body of likely suicide victim in Chattanooga

A water rescue team is retrieving the body of a woman wearing a red shirt from under the Walnut Street bridge, after a likely suicide attempt, police said this morning.

“Until we get her out of the water, we won’t have confirmation,” said Lt. Kim Noorbergen, Chattanooga Police Department spokeswoman. “They’ve got water rescue on the scene down there.”

Around 8 a.m., Lt. Noorbergen received word of the body underneath the Walnut Street bridge.
