MANITOWOC COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – Officials say a body found on a Manitowoc County beach may be that of a missing sailor.
The sheriff’s department and U.S. Coast Guard says a caller reported finding the body on private property on Lakeshore Road in the Town of Newton around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.
FOX 11 reports the coroner’s office is still investigating the cause of death and the person’s identity.
Coast Guard officials believe it could be a missing sailor who disappeared after a 10-foot sailboat that capsized off Red Arrow Beach was found two weeks ago.
Crews spent 13 hours searching Lake Michigan for the missing man, but the Coast Guard called off the search.
