He was found about 10 miles from his capsized boat, officials said in a news release. His body showed no other “visible” signs of trauma.

“Mr. Childress was an experienced boat handler and fisherman who obviously was unable to find safe harbor during yesterdays storm,” Sheriff Brian Hawthorne said in the release. “Prayers to him, his family and friends for this tragic loss, may he rest In peace.”
 

Officials are searching for an 88-year-old fisherman in Texas after he went out on his boat and disappeared.
