IMPERIAL BEACH, Calif. (KGTV) — The body of a man was discovered floating in the water just north of the U.S.-Mexico border near Border Field State Park Friday.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity has not been released.

The San Diego County Medical Examiner is working to identify the man before notifying his next of kin.
