Police are working to identify a body that washed ashore Monday from the Hudson River in Irvington.

A contractor who stepped outside to make a phone call made the discovery. "I saw something floating in the water," said Ed Tyrrell. "I thought it was a mannequin, but the way the body was moving I thought it could be a real person."Irvington police, fire department divers and a marine unit composed of three departments helped recover the body after a 911 call came in around 10:30 a.m.

"Right now, we can't confirm as to the identity or any other information," said Irvington Police Chief Michael Cerone. Police are awaiting results from a medical examiner in order to identify the man.

Officials are investigating whether the body is that of a 23-year-old Newburgh man who jumped to his death from the Tappan Zee Bridge in March.
