Body found under Cleveland bridge ID’d as Elyria woman

A body discovered under a Cleveland bridge on Jan. 17 has been identified as an Elyria woman, according to the Cuyahoga County Coroner’s Office.

Powell Cesar, coroner’s spokesman, said although the dead woman has been identified as 27-year-old Rachel Sergent, a cause of death has not yet been determined.

Medical examiners are still awaiting the results of toxicology reports before making a final determination on what killed Sergent, he said.

A Cleveland police report said Sergent’s body was found about 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 17 in the area of Train and Vega avenues by a man who was collecting cans to recycle.

Investigators initially believed that Sergent accidentally froze to death, according to the report.
