The cause of death was still unknown. A complete autopsy report will be done in 60 to 90 days.
The Chatham County Sheriff's Office said the body was that of Rosalio Ramirez Cordona, 27, whose last known address was in Siler City.
Inside a pocket of Cordona's khaki pants, deputies found identification from Townsend's Poultry Plant.
Cordona had not been reported missing, and the cause of his death has not been established. Investigators initially treated the case as a suspicious death.
David Stein, 21, spotted Cordona's body while fishing in the Robeson Creek section of Jordan Lake, off Hanks Chapel Road.
It was unclear how long the body had been in the water.
Authorities were checking Cordona's immigration status.
