BODY OF MISSING BOATER RECOVERED
The Port Lavaca Wave has been notified by Texas Game Warden Capt. Chris Bird that the body of the missing boater has been recovered. The individual was located near Dagger Point on the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge shoreline by volunteer searchers under Hunter Hadley's Quest. Texas Game Wardens transported the body to a local boat ramp, where Calhoun County Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Thomas Dio identified and pronounced the individual as deceased.
The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office has notified the next of kin. However, the identity of the boater has not yet been released, and a water fatality investigation will still be conducted by the Texas Game Wardens.
