The mysterious death of a man found in a Birmingham canal continues to baffle authorities, as West Midlands Police are requesting the public’s help in identifying the deceased individual. The body was discovered between Rabone Lane and Bridge Street in Smethwick on November 30th, with no apparent injuries and no signs of foul play involved.
