THE BODY OF A MAN FOUND IN AN IRRIGATION CANAL IN LAS CRUCES IS NOW IDENTIFIED. BUT INVESTIGATORS AREN'T RELEASING THE NAME YET … JUST THAT THE MAN WAS 60 YEARS OLD. A PASSER-BY SPOTTED THE BODY SHORTLY AFTER 12 NOON TUESDAY AND CALLED POLICE.
THE MAN'S FAMILY IDENTIFIED THE BODY AFTER GOING TO THE CANAL AND TELLING DETECTIVES THAT HE HAD WALKED AWAY FROM HIS HOME A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. FOUL PLAY IS NOT SUSPECTED IN THE MAN'S DEATH SO FAR.
THE OMI WILL DETERMINE EXACT CAUSE OF DEATH.
