Police found the lifeless body of a fully-clothed man on a shoreline near an Inwood park Wednesday morning, cops said.

Cops made the discovery on a rocky shoreline of the Hudson River near Inwood Hill Park at about 11 a.m. It was not immediately clear whether there were any signs of trauma on his body.

The body was seen lying on the ground, under a sheet or plastic tarp in the parking lot of the Dyckman Street Boat Marina on Wednesday afternoon — and the Medical Examiner removed it shortly after 2 p.m.

Several onlookers stood outside the marina, but no one said they saw what happened.

Luis Gonzalez, 49, who fishes in the Hudson River for striped bass, said he’s seen his share of so-called “floaters.”

“All the time this happen,” he said, adding that about a year ago he was fishing off a park pier when a dead body floated by.

The man has not yet been identified, and the city Medical Examiner’s office will determine the cause of death.
