Authorities are investigating after a body was discovered in a canal near Miami International Airport over the weekend.
According to Local 10 News, Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a call just before 9:30 a.m. Saturday. The body of a deceased white male was found in a waterway running alongside the Airport Expressway, near McLaughlin Drive and North Service Road.
The man’s identity has not been released. Homicide detectives quickly took over the case west of the MIA Rental Car Center, while the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner’s Office works to determine the cause of death, NBC Miami reported.
In a statement to Local 10 News, Detective Samantha Choon, spokesperson for M-DCSO, said: “Deputies began canvassing and located the body of a white adult male in the canal.” She urged the community to share any information that could help investigators.
The medical examiner will work to uncover how the man died as detectives collect and analyze evidence. Authorities encourage anyone with details about this case—or similar ones—to contact Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Callers can remain anonymous while assisting the investigation.
