It is alleged that an employee of Catamaran Charter was busy cleaning along the shore when he discovered a body of a male person that popped out of the water.

Police attended to the matter, and upon preliminary investigations, the deceased was found with a backpack on his back tied to his chest, which contained a wallet with documents and a big stone. 

The police are yet to trace the family or next of kin, and investigations continue.
