SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla — The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) said on Friday that they are investigating reports of a body found in the Myakka River. The discovery came amid the investigation of a boating accident that occurred on the Myakka River in Sarasota County on August 7.
The FWC, Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office, and Sarasota County Fire Rescue responded to the scene just north of Border Road of a two-vessel incident.
Officials said a Jon Boat with three people on board hit a personal watercraft (PWC) while traveling on the river.
All of the people on the Jon Boat were uninjured. Meanwhile, the search for the PWC operator has been ongoing since the incident.

“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.
