Police find body in search for missing diver in Sarasota

The 56-year-old was found near a local bridge.

SARASOTA, Fla. — An experienced diver was found dead Wednesday near Sarasota.

Hieu Chi Trinh, 56, of Manatee County, was reported missing after his family found his car at the New Pass Bait Shop. Investigators say they believe he was diving alone under the New Pass Bridge -- searching for stone crab claws.

Search-and-rescue divers found his body, west of the bridge, after several hours.

Detectives are in contact with the family, and a medical examiner will work to figure out his exact cause of death. Anyone with information should call Detective Maria Llovio at 941-263-6836.
