The body of a 56-year-old boater who disappeared while watching over a stalled airboat on Florida’s Peace River was found this week, according to local media.
Benton Lindsey, was reported missing Sunday and his body was found a day later, according to officials with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Lindsey was on the boat with at least one other person who, when the airboat began experiencing mechanical failures, left on land to find help.
The boat drifted down the river and “a series of events led the operator to end up in the water,” FWC officials said.
