HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is asking the public for help after a body was found on July 17.

That day, a body was found near MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa that had marks conducive to being hit by a boat propeller. An investigation revealed that the victim may have left Apollo Beach on July 15 in a blue kayak.

The FWC said a boating accident likely happened between July 15 and July 17.

The FWC is asking anyone with information about the incident, an abandoned blue kayak, or any other suspicious activity to call the Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922) or text 847411 with keyword (FWC) and their information.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
