The Body of a Missing 16-Year-Old Swimmer Has Been Found in Texas

This past Sunday, a 16-year-old swimmer went missing off the coast of Mustang Island in Corpus Christi, Texas.

On Monday, the body was found.

A press release shared Tuesday by senior officer Antonio Contreras said around 4 p.m., Corpus Christi Police were dispatched to the area, beach marker 195, to investigate the situation involving three men in the water off the coast of Mustang Island.

Two of the men were rescued from the water Sunday afternoon. One man was able enough to get out of the water on his own, while another 23-year-old man needed CPR, as he wasn't breathing when he was pulled out of the water. He was then taken to an area hospital and was in critical condition. As of yesterday, there'd been no updates on his progress.

The third man was not to be found that day off the coast of Mustang Island in Corpus Christi, Texas.
