Body found in St. Johns near Blount Island

Jacksonville, FL —

Rescuers pulled a body from the St. Johns River Tuesday morning near Blount Island.

Officials don't believe the body is connected to a possible second victim who went missing Monday night after a boat capsized near the Main Street Bridge and one man was pulled from the water.  Rescuers called off the search efforts for that possible second victim after eyewitness accounts lead them to believe there was never a second victim.

Rescuers don't believe that the body found and the possible missing boater have anything to do with each other based on the location of the body when it was found in relation to where the boat capsized.
