White was a resident of Maine but had recently been living at a home in Westport, Capt. Vincent Penna said. The cause and manner of her death had not yet been determined by the state medical examiner, Penna said.
White's body was discovered at about 9:15 a.m. at the mouth of the river near Longshore Club Park by a duck hunter in a kayak, police said. Police and fire crews launched a boat into the water from the Saugatuck Harbor Yacht Club in order to retrieve the body.
