The body of 26-year-old Mitchell Curtis Rehua Paterson, from Ngaruawahia, was found in the water below McLaren Falls Bridge about 11.30 on Friday morning.
The area was cordoned off for most of the day with police turning traffic around further up McLaren Falls Rd.
Detective Inspector Lewis Warner says Paterson's body was found in "suspicious circumstances", and a post-mortem was carried out yesterday to determine cause of death.
He says officers searched a residential address in Mill Lane in Hamilton, as part of a homicide investigation.
