HFD spokesman Capt. Robert Main said Rescue 1 scuba divers recovered the body at 12:54 p.m. from a depth of 26 feet. Emergency Medical Services personnel at the scene made the pronouncement at 1:08 p.m., according to EMS spokesman Bryan Cheplic.
A fire company from Sunset Beach responded to 11:10 a.m. call for assistance but did not have scuba equipment, said Main.
An autopsy tomorrow will try to determine cause and manner of death.
