SOUTHWEST RANCHES, Fla. (WSVN) — Four days days after a body was found floating in a Southwest Ranches canal, police released a sketch of the person in hopes of identifying the body.

According to police, officers responded to a call of an unclothed body found floating in a canal, Monday, along US 27.

The deceased person is described as a black male, between the ages of 50 and 60 years old, between 5 feet 6 inches tall to 5 feet 8 inches tall and approximately 200 pounds. He had brown eyes, dark hair and was found unshaven. He had no teeth besides two rear molars and no tattoos.
