GLOUCESTER CO., Va. — A body was found in the York River Tuesday morning near the area where a man was reported missing Sunday, according to the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office.
The sheriff's office says the body they recovered is a male, but an identification has not been made yet.
The discovery was made around 10:11 a.m., which deputies say is about 42 hours after Steven Kendall Wright, 50, was reported missing from Gloucester Point Beach.
Camp Peary Police found the body of a male floating face-down in the river about half a mile from the Gloucester Point Fishing Pier, officials say.
The medical examiner's office will work on identifying the body and determining a cause and manner of death. The sheriff's office is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the male's death.
