TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Crews have found the body of a 54-year-old man who went missing while on a weekend fishing trip near Tampa.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that the body of Eugene has been recovered, news outlets reported.
A family member dropped Wilson off at a dock around 8 p.m. Saturday. Sheriff’s deputies were called the next afternoon when Wilson didn’t return home.
A capsized boat with fishing gear was found nearby, and the search continued Wednesday for the father of six.
“He was a very family-oriented person,” daughter Krystal Wilson, 28, told the Tampa Bay Times. “The life of the party. Just an all-around great guy.”
Sheriff’s spokeswoman Amanda Granit told the newspaper that foul play is not suspected.
