Body washes up on shore along Upper Valley canal in El Paso
The body of an apparent drowning victim washed up on shore along a canal in the 600 block of Upper Valley around noon Monday, El Paso police and fire officials said.
EPFD spokesman Enrique Aguilar said a body was initially spotted in the water near Upper Valley Road and Scott Lane; fire-rescue crews were dispatched — but when crews arrived at the scene they found the body had washed ashore.
Police identified the apparent drowning victim as a man and added there were no signs of any foul play.
It marked at least the fourth apparent drowning victim to be found Monday in El Paso.
