The Sheriff’s Department received a call from PG&E workers this morning who found the fully clothed man lying up on the bank of the Wise Canal. An automatic cleaning mechanism had lifted the man from a strainer gate, which cleans the canal throughout the day.

A forensics autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.
