An unidentified man was found dead in the Canal Route in north Wichita Friday afternoon.

Police found the man near the 700 block of North Hydraulic shortly after 2:30 p.m.   Sergeant Don Story said the man was submerged in the canal and he was pronounced dead at the scene.   It’s not known how long the man had been in the canal and there were no obvious signs of injury.

Story said officers have a tentative identification of the man but they want to talk to family members and retrace his steps.   An autopsy will determine the cause of death.
