Police in Niagara are asking for help identifying the body of a man found near the mouth of the Niagara River late Friday morning.

The body was near the international boundary and was ultimately recovered by members of the Niagara Regional Police Marine Unit.  The U.S. Coast Guard also responded to the report of a body floating in Lake Ontario near the river.

The man has blue eyes, was approximately 50-to-60 years of age, five-feet-eight inches tall with a medium build. He has grey and brown shaggy hair and a similar coloured moustache.

Anyone with information is asked to call Niagara Regional Police.

There’s no indication how the man ended up in the river or from which side of the border.
