No foul play suspected in case of dead man found at Higgs Beach 

Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit Detectives do not suspect foul play was a factor in the death of a 46-year-old nude man found dead floating in the water just off Higgs Beach in Key West on Thursday.

Detectives worked with Key West Police officers in identifying the man, but they have yet to notify next-of-kin.

The man was found by other beachgoers at approximately 3 p.m. about 100 feet from the shore in front of the area where the restrooms are located.

A Key West Fire Department boat and Key West Police Officers responded first and the remains were taken to Coast Guard Sector Key West headquarters where Sheriff’s Office detectives met them, along with the Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Autopsy results remain pending.
