A boater today discovered a body around 2:30 p.m. south of the Marler Bridge in Destin’s East Pass, not far from where a 20-year old Pace man disappeared while swimming last weekend.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office Marine Unit recovered the body and transported it to the Destin Coast Guard Station.
The Medical Examiner’s Office will be conducting an autopsy and working to determine a positive identification.
