That boating accident report was on June 12. Eventually bodies do rise up but…
Finally his family has closure. RIP Vincent Soto.

So very glad that he was finally found. I pray that he will RIP, and his family and friends will have closure now. So sad that a fun day fishing turned so tragic. Please be careful out on the water people.
