HOUSTON, Tx — The Houston Police Department is investigating after a man's body was found in White Oak Bayou near downtown Houston Wednesday morning.

According to HPD, it was initially reported as a drowning call on White Oak Drive and Gladys Street. The man’s body was recovered from the bayou just before 9:30 a.m., however, it is unclear if foul play was a factor.

The man's identity has not been confirmed pending an autopsy from the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office.

This is the seventh body found in Houston bayous in the last 30 days. Despite online speculation from social media users that there is a serial killer on the loose in Houston, both Mayor John Whitmore and officials from HPD say there is no evidence that suggests that.
