“It’s been in the high 90’s the last couple of days,” Bryan said. “There was a fisherman that had seen him down there two days ago and when he came back down there today, he spotted the body.”
The coroner says he is awaiting the results of two other deaths from June to determine if they might be heat-related as well.
