Michael Showers, an actor who recurred on HBO's "Treme", was found dead on Wednesday. He was 45.
Showers was pulled from the Mississippi River in New Orleans after a steamboat captain spotted his body, a police spokesman told The Times-Picayune.
An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death, but Showers had been in the water about two days, a coroner determined.
Showers played New Orleans Police Capt. John Guidry on the HBO series.
His other credits included bit-part roles on "Breaking Bad" and "The Vampire Diaries".
