A woman found dead in Rend Lake may have been the victim of suicide or an accident, but apparently not foul play, police report
The body of Alicia Rae Anglese, 24, of Christopher was found in shallow water near the shore about 4 p.m. by fishermen who called the Franklin County Sheriff's Office. Upon arriving at the lake, at the South Marcum boat launch, Sheriff's deputies determined Anglese showed no signs of life. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Anglese's vehicle also was located, further away from the shore than her body, and completely submerged.
The sheriff's investigation continues to rule out foul play. The Franklin County Coroner's Office has scheduled an autopsy for 1 p.m. on Saturday.
The sheriff's office was assisted at the scene by the following agencies: Franklin County Corner's Office, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Illinois State Police Crime Scene Services and the Rend Lake Dive Team.
