EL PASO - The body of man was retrieved from a canal along the Rio Grande Thursday afternoon near the Chamizal.

The man had not been identified and appeared to have been in the water for a few days, said Lt. Mario Hernandez, a spokesman for the El Paso Fire Department.

A Fire Department water rescue team was dispatched about 1 p.m. after Border Patrol agents spotted the body floating in canal waters, which are high at this time of year.
