Firefighters responded to the American River near Sacramento State University around 7 a.m. on Tuesday after an employee at the Fairbairn Water Treatment plant spotted a body floating in the water.

Sacramento City Assistant Fire Chief Chris Costamanga confirmed the body of a white male was found, and said it appeared the body had been in the water for quite some time due to its condition.

Multiple supporting agencies, including the Sacramento Police Dept. were called to the scene to investigate the discovery.

Costamanga said it was too early to determine whether the man’s death was a result of suicide, homicide, or accidental. However, Sacramento Police said initial findings did not indicate signs of foul play.
