This guy's body was found in a canal.
A bicyclist spotted a body floating in a Tempe canal earlier this week, and police haven't been able to identify the body.

The bicyclist called police on Sunday afternoon after spotting the body floating in a canal just east of Priest Drive, according to Tempe PD.

Tempe police cite an ongoing investigation but say there are no signs of foul play.

The body was recovered without any form of ID, and even after a trip to the Medical Examiner's Office, he's still a John Doe.

He's described as "a black male, late 20s to late 30s, medium build, wearing a black T-shirt, blue jeans and white tennis shoes with black designs and no tattoos."

The Tempe PD provided the following sketch, so if you know this guy, call the cops at 480-350-8311.
