2 Bodies Found By Bridge In St. Cloud, Police Say

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP/WCCO) -- Police say first responders found two bodies at the Mississippi River in St. Cloud, but that investigators don't believe the cases are related.

St. Cloud Police Sgt. Jeffrey Janssen says police got a call Sunday afternoon about a person possibly on the ice.

The Stearns County Sheriff's Office confirmed it was a dead 21-year-old woman on the ice south of the Granite City Crossing bridge.

According to Janssen, police received a missing person call earlier in the day and believe it's the woman found on the ice.

Janssen says officers on the scene found a second body on the rocks. He says it was the body of an unidentified man and appeared to have been there for a substantial amount of time.

A spokesperson with St. Cloud State University says they have not received any indication the woman was a student there.
