Man drowns in St. Croix Marina Friday afternoon

Hudson police were called to the St. Croix Marina at 12:39 p.m. Friday when a body was discovered floating near a pier.

Police Chief Marty Jensen said the victim was a white male about 60 of 61 years old. He declined to identify the man until notification of the next of kin in the Twin Cities but said the victim was a member of the local marina.

A marina worker discovered the body during the noon hour and called police. Jensen said the body was found in the slip next to where the Hudson Police boat is moored.

St. Croix County Sheriff's Deputies were called in to retrieve the body and take over the investigation. Victims of drowning in the St. Croix River come under the jurisdiction of the sheriff.
