HARLEM — Fire officials found a dead body floating in the Hudson River near West 135th Street Tuesday morning.

A caller to the FDNY spotted the body around 7 a.m., a spokesman for the department said. No other details were available about the victim's identity.

The pier near West 135th, just steps from the Fairway in Harlem, was closed along with a chunk of the Hudson greenway during the morning jog as authorities investigated.
