The body was recovered and taken to University Hospital, where a post-mortem was conducted Sunday.

“Although the death is not considered suspicious, the cause (of death) has not been ascertained,” police said in a statement late Sunday afternoon, adding “further testing will take place.”

Police said the male had straight, shoulder-length dark hair and some facial hair, with his left ear pierced and no tattoos. He was wearing a thick necklace, black athletic pants, a purple T-shirt with a Los Angeles Lakers logo on the front and black Nike shoes.
