Authorities identify body pulled from San Jose river

Authorities have identified a man whose body was found floating in San Jose’s Guadalupe River earlier this month.

Domingo Benitez, 61, was seen floating in the water near Keyes Street and Center Road at around 12:26 p.m. on Oct. 19.

San Jose police were first called to the scene when passerby reported seeing a possibly dead body in the river, which runs through the city of San Jose up to the Alviso neighborhood.

Police Sgt. Enrique Garcia said the initial investigation showed “no evidence of foul play.”

Authorities did not have a place of residence listed for Benitez, nor his manner of death.
