The body was found around 6 p.m. on Thursday.

Officers brought in drones and canines to help in the search. Then, they later requested the dive team and extra officers because the area was so vast.

They located a deceased male at 6 p.m. According to Commons, there's no foul play suspected at this time.

Police cannot confirm whether the body found is that of the man who was reported missing. That will be determined by the Nueces County Medical Examiner's Office.
