A body was located in the river near Brateevo, a neighborhood in the southeast of the city, prompting an official inquiry. The finding was reported by the city attorney’s office through a local information channel. The authorities confirmed that a male individual’s remains were discovered in the waters close to Brateevo and noted that the precise cause of death had not yet been determined. Experts will clarify the circumstances after completing the forensic examination, which is standard procedure in such cases. The Nagatinskaya inter-district prosecutor’s office has taken charge of coordinating the investigation and ensuring that all relevant details are thoroughly examined. The Moscow prosecutor’s office later emphasized that oversight of the incident remains with the prosecutorial bodies to guarantee a complete review of all factors involved.
In a separate report, authorities referenced another incident in which a body was found in the Sverdlovsk region, involving a schoolgirl who had disappeared from the Tura River, highlighting that river-related fatalities have drawn significant attention in recent times.
Earlier this spring, rescuers recovered the body of a man from the Moskva River after eyewitnesses noted a person swimming in the water without signs of life. Local residents were reported to have observed the deceased individual in the river, triggering emergency response efforts and subsequent confirmation by the relevant agencies. The response reflects ongoing vigilance by local services to monitor river safety and to respond swiftly to suspected drownings in urban waterways, where currents and environmental conditions can complicate search efforts.
