Corporal#1 met RFC#1 and towed the vessel from the South Brunswick River to Blythe Island Regional Park.  Seargent#2 assisted Corporal#1 with trailering Victim1’s vessel and towing it to the secured lot at the DNR Brunswick LED Office.  At 20:33 hours the search for Victim1 was suspended for the evening and set to resume at daylight on the following day.  The USCG maintained security on the South Brunswick River overnight.

  	On June 8th, 2016, at approximately 08:00 hours, RFC#3 and RFC#4 resumed the search for Victim1 with Glynn County EMA agents.  While searching, RFC#3 and RFC Bright observed buzzards had gathered in the small marsh island directly across from Colonels Island near the location of where Victim1’s vessel was found.   GSP Aviation from Perry was called to assist with the search.  GSP aviation and Ranger First Class (RFC) #5 confirmed by air that the body of Victim1 was indeed in the marsh where the buzzards where gathered.   RFC#3, RFC#4, and Glynn County EMA maneuvered through the waters of the marsh a…  It is assumed the victim fell overboard as a result of his seat breaking loose.
