According to police, someone walking across the Sheridan Street bridge spotted the body in the water just before 7:20 a.m. and called police.

Hollywood police confirmed that the Broward Sheriff’s Office assisted in recovering the body from the water.

The victim was identified by officers only as a white man as they are still working to find out who he was.

His cause of death is unknown at this time and police said it’s unclear whether foul play was involved.

“At this time, our Homicide Unit is investigating this, as they do all death investigations,” Officer Christian Lata said. “The medical examiner will come out and conduct their investigation along with our homicide detectives, and when they determine the cause of death or if they determine there’s any foul play, we can proceed with that investigation.”
