A worker found the body of a man floating in the lake at Centennial Regional Park on Wednesday morning at around 9:45 a.m., in Santa Ana, police said, according to the O.C. Register.  The park is located at 3000 W. Edinger Ave.

The SAPD’s homicide detectives and the O.C. Coroner indicated that the body did not show any obvious signs of trauma.
