Officials are identifying a man whose body was found this week in a Tangipahoa Parish canal.
The sheriff's office announced on Wednesday that the remains were identified as those of Brandon McKay of Tickfaw.
Two boys who were fishing discovered McKay's body around 7 p.m. Monday in the canal near Stafford Road at Pravata Lane. His cause of death is not yet known.
The sheriff's office says McKay hadn't been reported missing, so detectives are trying to figure out where and when he'd last been seen.
