You can't even understand the headline you quote.
Though quite why "near ... canal" is even in the headline, I have no idea. It's not obviously relevant.
It may as well read "near... road", or "near... houses", or near... field" as the case may be; and in this case the body very likely was near a road, houses and perhaps fields.
We have no idea who the hell you are, nor where the hell you are, but you show a bizarre obsession with deaths, canals and places you know nothing about.
