Port Arthur Police said they are working to notify next of kin after a dead body was discovered Friday morning in the water off the seawall by the Lamar State College Port Arthur campus.

Det. Sadie Guedry said police were alerted to a possible subject in the water at 10:15 a.m. Friday by a passerby.

Authorities recovered the body and confirmed the victim is a male.

According to Guedry, it is too early to release a cause of death or rule out homicide as a determining factor.
