CLEARWATER - Police continued to hunt for clues Sunday to the identity of a dead man found floating in the Intracoastal Waterway about a mile north of the Memorial Causeway Bridge. Clearwater police were called at 7:26 a.m. Saturday after a passing boater spotted the man, who was described as a white male in his late 40s or early 50s, about 6 feet tall and 180 pounds. He had medium length wavy sandy brown hair, a mustache and brown eyes. The man was wearing blue jeans, a camouflage shirt and black boots. Police said he had a heart-shaped tattoo on his right biceps with what appeared to be a name in the middle. Police could not decipher the name. The death was being treated as suspicious because police have not been able to determine what happened to the man. Police did not say whether the body showed signs of trauma. Anyone with information is asked to call police at (727) 562-4242.
