CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Division of Police is investigating the death of a 53-year-old woman who was found on ice about half a mile from shore on Lake Erie Tuesday afternoon.
Cleveland police responded to Edgewater Park around 3 p.m. to assist Cleveland Metroparks police and the U.S. Coast Guard.
A man wandering around the ice found the woman face down and then notified police.
He was ordered to come back to land and then placed in the back of a cruiser while authorities went out on the ice to retrieve the woman's body.
The woman was later identified as Sunny Kruzel by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office. A cause of death has not been determined and is still being investigated.
Cleveland police homicide detectives are heading up the ongoing investigation.
