The body found in a capsized shrimping vessel has been confirmed to be the captain of the boat, Eduardo Perez, according to the Cameron County sheriff.

Perez had been missing since Saturday, when the fishing vessel capsized on the Brownsville Ship Channel. The U.S. Coast Guard said the body was found Thursday in the wheelhouse of the boat.
