DuPage County forest preserve searched for woman's body

Police and rescue crews this morning scoured Meacham Grove Forest Preserve near Roselle for several hours.

They were searching for the body of a woman believed to be missing out of Hanover Park, authorities said. It's unclear whether the woman's death was accidental in nature or a suicide.

Dozens of police and emergency vehicles lined the roadway around the entrance to the forest preserve, which is located along Circle Avenue. The entrance itself was closed.

Water rescue teams, K-9 units and firefighters from several communities, including Schaumburg, Bloomingdale and Rolling Meadows, helped with the search.

Crews started leaving the site around 11:30 a.m. Authorities said they believe a body was recovered. It's unclear where the body was found.
