"I was walking towards the bridge along the shore when I saw something in the water," she told County 10 news. "I had to take a second look and I realised it was a body."
威金斯接受County 10新闻采访时表示:“我当时正沿着河岸朝着桥走,然后我就发现水里有什么东西。我不得不再看一眼,然后我意识到这是一个人。”
Shayla, who's living in a trailer park for the summer with her mum, said she'd jumped over a fence to get to the Pokemon shown on her map.
威金斯这个夏天和她的妈妈一起住在一个拖车公园里,她表示自己是翻过栅栏来抓手机上显示在这里的小精灵。
"It was pretty shocking," she said. "I didn't really know what to do at first. But I called 911 right away and they came really quickly."
威金斯说:“这很吓人。我最开始不知道应该要做些什么。但是我立刻拨打了911,他们很快就来了。”
The body was found in the Big Wind River under the Wyoming Highway 789 Bridge. The local police department says there doesn't appear to be any foul play involved.
尸体的发现地点是大风河,位于怀俄明州高速公路789号桥下方。当地警方表示,现场没有任何打斗痕迹。
"The death appears to be accidental in nature and possibly that of a drowning," said the Fremont County Sheriff's Office in a statement. "There is no evidence at this time that would indicate foul play. Evidence located at the scene has led investigators to believe the man went into the water at the location he was found."
佛里蒙特县警长办公室在一份声明中表示说:“这起死亡事件似乎是事故,很有可能是因为溺水。目前没有证据表明存在任何打斗。从现场证据来看,调查员们认为就是在尸体发现地点落水的。”
