A body was found Thursday afternoon in Lake Grapevine, near the Grapevine Dam.
Grapevine and Flower Mound fire department personnel, as well as Grapevine police officers, responded to “reports of a body floating in the water near the spillway” around 3:30 p.m. Thursday, according to a GPD spokesperson.
Once the body was pulled from the water, officers discovered signs of trauma inconsistent with drowning. The body appeared to be an adult female, police said, and it is not immediately clear how long she was in the water. The medical examiner will determine her identity and exact cause of death.
Fairway Drive was closed for much of Thursday afternoon and evening, between the golf course and Rockledge Park, as crews investigate and work to retrieve the body. Detectives continue to search the surrounding area for evidence, and plan to reopen Fairway Drive later tonight.
Expect intermittent closures throughout the day on Fairway Drive as our detectives investigate a case. We are working to limit closures to a few minutes at a time, but expect traffic delays if you must take this route. We appreciate your understanding as our crews work. pic.twitter.com/kNA81bhtdy
