The U.S. Coast Guard says it found a body wearing a personal floatation device in an area where searchers are looking for a father and his three teenage children who disappeared while sailing off the coast of southwestern Florida, Coast Guard Capt. Gregory Case told reporters Wednesday.

However, it was not immediately clear that the deceased person was a member of the missing family, Case said.

The body that was recovered by helicopter was being transported to local authorities for a positive identification.
Meanwhile the search for the missing family which was sailing from Sarasota to Fort Myers continues, he said. The sailboat has not been located but searchers recovered two kayaks that the boat was towing, Case said.

Earlier teams discovered other debris associated with the sailboat, including six life jackets. The sailboat had seven life jackets, which had given authorities and the father's wife and brothers hope of a rescue.

Bodies Found Off Florida Coast in Search for Missing Family ID’d as Father, Teen Daughter

Posted 10:46 AM, June 25, 2016, by CNN Wire, Updated at 11:49am, June 25, 2016

Two bodies recovered in the search for a missing Florida family have been identified and rescue crews have ended search operations, Coast Guard Capt. Gregory Case said Saturday.

The bodies were those of Ace Kimberly, 45, and his daughter Becky, 17 — who went missing last weekend along with sons Roger, 13, and Donny, 15, while sailing off the coast of Florida between Sarasota and Fort Myers.
 
“The two teenage boys are still missing,” Case told reporters.
 
The five-day rescue operation came to an end Saturday afternoon after more than 100 searches covering nearly 34,000 square miles.
 
“It is with a heavy heart and sincere condolences to the family and friends that I do this,” Case said. “This is probably the most difficult decision I ever have to make in this position.”
