Man found dead after boating accident

FORT MYERS, Fla. - (AP) -- A Fort Myers man has been found dead in the Caloosahatchee River after his boat flipped over.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports that four men and three dogs fell into the river Thursday after two small boats tied together with rope capsized. The U.S. Coast Guard
recovered three men and three dogs, but 51-year-old Leroy Swinger was still missing.

Boats from several agencies searched the river until Swinger's body was found several hours later.

FWC officials say there were no signs of trauma on the man's body, and an autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.
