- Body of missing boater found on Lake Toho
- Officials say he was with a group of people on a boat
- Man identified as Orlando Torres Monriog, 47
Orlando Torres Monroig, 47, disappeared on the lake at Lakefront Park in St. Cloud on Sunday. The FWC dive team found his body around 2 p.m., Monday.
An FWC spokesperson said Monroig was part of a group of seven who went onto the lake.
“There was an individual on the boat that was having some issues staying afloat. A couple of the folks in the boat did try to throw some personal floatation devices — what we call life jackets — and he could not grab it at the time, and they lost sight of him,” said FWC’s Greg Workman.
The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, St. Cloud Police Department, and FWC had been at Lake Toho since Monroig disappeared.
FWC said there is no indication that there was alcohol involved.
