An unidentified body was found in the Imjin River in Paju, Gyeonggi.

According to the Paju Police Station on the 2nd, a decomposed body was found at about 9:20 a.m. that day in the Imjin River in Naepo-ri, Munsan-eup.

The body was so severely decomposed that identification was impossible, but it is presumed to be a man at this point. It was also reported that no belongings that could identify the person were found.

Police officers dispatched after receiving a report that a body had been found are investigating to confirm the identity.

Given the location where the body was found, authorities are also considering the possibility that the person was a North Korean resident. Paju faces a North Korean propaganda village across the Imjin River.
