The body of an unidentified man was Tuesday morning found in a gutter along Woolford Avenue, just opposite the Richard Ishmael Secondary School.
The discovery was made by a staff on what happens to be her first day at the institution as an Administrator for Technical and Vocational Education.
The woman said she was about to park her vehicle when she noticed the object submerged in the water.
The police were called to the scene and upon closer inspection it was confirmed to be the body of a male.
Students from along the popular school district rushed from their classrooms to the cordoned scene to get a glimpse of the discovery.
The body was subsequently fished out of the water and a police investigation has been launched.
