Authorities couldn’t immediately say how she ended up near the Route 37 Mathis Bridge.

Toms River police and firefighters, the Island Heights Volunteer Fire Company and a New Jersey State Police marine unit initially responded to the bridge’s south side shortly before 11:30 a.m., township police said in a statement.

The body was brought to the Aqua Blue marina, where Ocean County Crime Scene Investigation officers and a member of the Ocean County Medical Examiner’s Office met them.
