Searchers Find Body of Missing South Texas Kayaker

A man had gone fishing with a friend near Port Isabel when his kayak overturned

Searchers have found the body of a South Texas kayaker who had been missing since Thursday.

State game wardens on Saturday found the body of 21-year-old Adrian Garcia in waters near Port Isabel.

The Brownsville Herald reports Garcia had gone fishing with a friend near Port Isabel and South Padre Island when his kayak overturned.

The friend told authorities he lost sight of Garcia after the kayak flipped. The craft later was found by searchers, who had been hindered by fog.

Game wardens were joined by the Coast Guard and the Cameron County Sheriff's Department in the search.
