Florida Fish and Wildlife said the body of a woman who fell off an allegedly stolen boat into Lake Weir has been found.

Fish and Wildlife officials said a call came in around 5 a.m. about a woman who had fallen from a boat into the lake.

Investigators later took one person, Patrick Cotton, into custody after learning the boat was stolen.

Authorities said they believe Cotton stole the boat and then met up with a group of friends, including another man and three women. The group was out on Lake Weir on the boat, when the woman fell overboard.

She's been identified as Jessica Demko, 22.
