A member of a nearby rowing club was the first to notice the body and call for help.

 

"When we arrived on the scene we found a woman unconscious in the river. Several people got down on the water line and with the help of a civilian aboard a kayak we were able to take the unconscious 70 year old female to the bank. She was without vital signs and we pronounced her death shortly thereafter," recounted Magen David Adom paramedic Lior Marmelstein.
