French authorities say they have found the body of a man in a canal in Paris that locals and tourists frequently use for swimming during warm weather. Police said the death is being investigated after the body was discovered in the Canal Saint-Martin, a waterway in northern central Paris. The canal’s banks have drawn large numbers of bathers in recent weeks as unusually high temperatures settle over the city. Local media reports characterize the area as a popular spot for people to cool off during an early summer heatwave. The sources agree on the basic facts: a man’s body is recovered from the canal, the location is Canal Saint-Martin, and the discovery follows increased public use of the canal by swimmers amid record or very high temperatures. Police have not, in the provided accounts, detailed the man’s identity, cause of death, or whether any suspects are involved. Authorities continue to treat the case as an ongoing investigation.
