Around 10:30 a.m. today, a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission  officer found the body of Cesar Montano floating on the river about two miles from the original search site.

An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.

Montano fell overboard while attempting to refuel his moving 27-foot sailboat
with a gas can on Dec. 7. He and his wife, Jennifer, were on a 12-day trip that began in Miami. They were headed for Welaka from Jacksonville when the incident happened.
