TULSA, Okla. —

Tulsa are investigating what they believe is an apparent suicide after 3 young men found a body in the middle of the Arkansas River.

The 3 teens saw the body then went to a nearby fast food restaurant to call police around 4:20 Monday afternoon.

Police tell KRMG that the incident does not appear suspicious and has all the makings of a suicide.

The medical examiner was called in to identify the body, described as a white male with black hair, and determine the cause of death.

The scene caused traffic to back up even more than usual on the evening commute.
