Body found in Florida boat capsizing search efforts

A body has been discovered in the St. Johns River in Florida after a boat capsized on March 21. The boat had eight passengers on board. Four were rescued alive, and one person had already been found dead. On March 23, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office announced the recovery of another deceased individual. They are still searching for two missing people. The Sheriff’s Office described the situation as "heartbreaking." The Marine and Dive units are using SONAR technology to search the area. The Air Unit is also assisting from above. Multiple agencies are involved in the search effort, including the Coast Guard and local fire departments. Initial reports state that two children and one adult are the missing individuals. The boat, which is 18 feet long, overturned around 8 p.m. on March 21. It was reported that none of the passengers were wearing lifejackets. While four individuals were on top of the boat and rescued successfully, three others were under the vessel. The Coast Guard has confirmed that attempts to reach those beneath were unsuccessful. The cause of the capsizing is still being investigated. The search was temporarily suspended after 17 hours but may resume if new information arises.
