It was a shock for bystanders as a body was seen floating in the water just off Marie Curtis Park.
Police are investigating the discovery of the body on September 6 around 4 p.m., when many people were in the park.
Officers say they received a call from an individual who spotted the body while walking through the sprawling park.
Police say a body was recovered about 10-feet from the shore, but they would not confirm the age or gender of the deceased until next of kin had been notified.
The discovery is being treated as a suspicious incident as police await a coroner’s report to determine if this is a criminal case.
