Phoenix Fire Department: Body found beyond resuscitation in a Phoenix canal

PHOENIX - An investigation is underway after a body is pulled from a Valley canal. 

The discovery was made this afternoon near 22nd Avenue and Indian School. 

Entryways to the canal were taped off as they investigated the scene. 

Several police vehicles were lined up along the west side of the canal. 

We were actually able to access the canal and saw where the body was pulled from the water and on to the embankment. 

Phoenix Police say firefighters first on scene found the body of an adult floating in the canal and technical rescue teams recovered the body, but the person was beyond any life-saving measures. 

There is a crime scene response unit on scene but we do not have any confirmation about the cause of death at this time. 

We are waiting for an update from Phoenix Police to find out if they suspect foul play in this investigation.
