Body recovered from Detroit River believed to be missing Wyandotte man
FOX 2 - Ecorse police believe the body of a missing Wyandotte man has been recovered from the Detroit River.
The backstory:
Investigators say the body matches the physical and clothing description of Tyler Bojanowski. A medical examiner will have to make the final confirmation.
Bojanowski, 25, has been missing since February after his empty car was found near a hotel in Allen Park.
His body was recovered at Dingell Park after Ecorse police responded to a report of a person in the water at 1:15 p.m. Monday.
Responding officers located an unresponsive adult male floating face down in the river in an area described as having a heavy current.
Officers worked with the Ecorse Fire Department to safely retrieve the body.
His mother told FOX 2 that Tyler suffered a brain injury a while ago but was recovering. She has been his main caretaker and said they were close.
The Bojanowski family said that Tyler went out for the night on Feb. 4 and never returned.
