Police found a man’s body floating in the water off the Navy Yard on May 19.

Cops, who say the man was in his 30s, found the body near Flushing Avenue at 8:20 a.m. with no obvious signs of trauma and the investigation is ongoing, according to the department.

The city’s chief medical examiner has yet to determine the man’s cause of death and the release of his identity is pending family notification, according to a spokeswoman.
