A police cordon was put in place.
Lincolnshire Police have named 41-year-old Polish national Marcin Stolarek as the victim in an ongoing murder investigation in Boston.
The probe relates to the discovery of a body at the pumping station on Chain Bridge Road on the evening of January 12.
Officials at the Lincolnshire force have said significant resources have been dedicated to the investigation.
It is believed the victim died as a result of a sustained assault and his body was then disposed of in the waterway.
