Kayakers spotted the body near W. Diamond Ave. Sunday evening

A group of kayakers has found a body in Pigeon Creek. WNIN’s John Gibson has details:

The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to the creek near Grove Street and Diamond Avenue at about 7:15 Sunday night.

Authorities say the individual appeared to be male and was determined to be beyond any lifesaving measures.

Deputies, Indiana Conservation Officers, Evansville Police Officers, and Evansville Fire Department personnel responded to the area and, after a coordinated search, found the victim south of Diamond, near the railroad tracks parallel to Grove Street.

The cause of death and the circumstances are under investigation.

The Vanderburgh County Coroner’s Office has not yet released the victim’s name.
