In 1992, the body of Marsha P. Johnson, a famous drag queen and gay rights activist, was found in the Hudson River in New York, off the West Village Piers. Police ruled it as a suicide, though friends and relatives insisted Marsha had not been suicidal, and several witnesses claimed that she had been earlier harassed near the sight of her death. Any attempts to persuade police to further investigate her death were unsuccessful.
