The body of a 20-year-old male swimmer was found Monday after he went missing Sunday afternoon after getting caught in a riptide at Mickler’s Beach, St. Johns County Fire Rescue said.
Witnesses quickly realized he was in distress and attempted to swim out to the man, described as Hispanic by rescue officials.
Those efforts were in vain, and he was ultimately found by emergency crews in the Mickler’s Landing area.
No further details on his identity have been released.
