A man was found dead in the Potomac River Thursday afternoon after he was seen near the water in Old Town Alexandria, officials say.
The Alexandria Fire Department, a dive team from the D.C. police department and a U.S. Park Police helicopter were called to the scene and searched for the man by land, air and water starting about 1:35 p.m.
The temperature was in the 30s in Alexandria Thursday afternoon.
The man's body was found in the river, the fire department said in an update about 3:20 p.m.
His identity was not released immediately.
An Alexandria fire department representative previously said that witnesses reported seeing a man fall off a tour boat docked at the end of Prince Street.
Police said in an update that they believe the man did not fall from a boat; rather, he was last seen standing near the water. The death is not considered suspicious, police said.
