Authorities in New Taipei City are investigating the discovery of a body found trapped among concrete wave-dissipating blocks near the red lighthouse in Wanli Fishing Port. The deceased, estimated to be a man in his 40s, was found on the afternoon of July 1st.

Emergency services were alerted and retrieved the body from the water. Preliminary examination indicated that the man had been deceased for some time, with his body showing signs of swelling due to prolonged exposure to seawater.

The Jinshan Police Precinct is comparing the description with recent missing person reports to determine his identity. The cause of death awaits clarification pending an autopsy by the prosecutor.
