An unidentified body has been found in the water off a Trump golf resort in New York City.

Police spokesman George Tsourovaka says the decomposed body was discovered Wednesday night in the East River, snagged in rocks about 500 feet (152 meters) off the Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in the Bronx.

The body was badly decomposed when it was found on the rocks.

As a result, the gender and age of the person is currently unknown.

Authorities were notified after some kids walking along the shore saw the body.

Police did not say how long the body had been in the water.

They also were unaware of the nature of death.

Security guards from the Trump course blocked access to the area.

NYPD Harbor Units were on the scene, conducting an investigation.

It isn't the first body to wash up close to Trump properties. Just last year, a 26-year-old woman washed up nearby the Trump National Golf Course in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.

The Trump Organization worked with New York City to open the public golf course in 2016.
