An investigation is underway following the discovery of a woman's body at the Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park. The body was found on Friday (December 6) by a hiker near the east shore of the Hudson River, south of Bard Rock. Authorities are treating the death as suspicious.
The deceased is described as an elderly woman, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing 112 pounds, with brown eyes and gray hair. No visible scars or tattoos were found on her body.
