ORIGINAL REPORT: Coast Guard and partners continue search for missing boater after boat overturned Friday

After a nearly 20-hour-long search, the Seabrook Fire Department's Marine Rescue crew reportedly recovered a body in Texas City Y-- an area where the Houston, Galveston, and Texas City ship channels intersect.

Officials said Seabrook's Marine Division found the body at about 12:25 p.m. Then, they reportedly transported the body to the U.S. Coast Guard station in Galveston.

The Coast Guard said the body matches the description of the missing boater, but they are waiting on official confirmation from the Galveston County Medical Examiner's Office.

Since finding the body, the Coast Guard said they have suspended their search.

Officials have yet to confirm what caused the boat to capsize on Friday.
