« Money to help female prisoners reenter society | Today | DOT holds construction opener at Washington Bridge » April 15, 2008Body found in Blackstone ID'd as Woonsocket womanCUMBERLAND -- The woman's body recovered from the Blackstone River in Saturday was identified as that of Diane Derosier, 50, of Woonsocket, the state Office of the Medical Examiners confirmed. Derosier, who was unemployed and living with friends at 119 Chester St., was reported missing on Feb. 21, according to Woonsocket police. The medical examiners' office completed an autopsy on the body yesterday, but said that it was not releasing the findings because officials had been unable to reach her family. A cause of death is pending further tests, according to Health Department spokeswoman Helen Drew. Rescue personnel from Cumberland and Lincoln recovered the woman’s body from the river near the Route 295 overpass after a jogger on the bike path along the Blackstone River noticed it floating downriver at around 3:30 p.m. They found the body about 15 feet offshore in water about 15 to 20 feet deep, not far from The River Lofts at Ashton Mill on Front Street, police said. Cumberland Police Chief John Desmarais said over the weekend that the woman was found wearing a long-sleeve black shirt, blue jeans and work boots. There were no apparent signs of trauma, Desmarais added. -- Journal staff writer Philip Marcelo Posted by Mike McKinney Commentslucie | April 15, 2008 5:58 PM link I think this is very sad.

God bleess you Diane . I personally think the Woonsocket Police should look a little deeper into this. Last November the Burriville Police found my best friend Vicki L Connolly's body and there still has been nobody arrested in her death. How many more bodies are they going to find before something is done. I hurt everyday not knowing what happen to Vicki now somebody else is hurting not knowing what happen to Diane RIP Diane
