A man found a body floating on the shore of the St. Lawrence river that borders the backyard of his house in Verchères near Boucherville on Sunday afternoon.
The man called police, who recovered the body and will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Sûreté du Québec Sgt. Audrey-Anne Bilodeau said the body was that of a man who looked to have died in the last day or so. There were no traces of violence on the body, she said.
