Police have identified the body of a man found Monday morning in the Elizabeth River but are withholding his identity until family members are notified.
A preliminary investigation indicates drowning was the cause of death.
But the investigation is continuing, and police are treating the case as a suspicious death, according to police spokeswoman Amber Whittaker.
The body was discovered by crabbers Monday morning between the Churchland and West Norfolk bridges.
