Investigation underway after body found on Florida beach

July 11, 2024

    HOLLYWOOD, Florida (WSVN) -- A body was found face down on the shoreline of Hollywood Beach Thursday morning, prompting a police investigation.

Hollywood Fire Rescue and Hollywood Police were dispatched to South Ocean Drive and Magnolia Terrace following reports of a possible drowning. Upon arrival, they found the body of an elderly white man.

Police estimate the man to be in his 50s or 60s.

โ€œA resident was jogging on the beach this morning at approximately 6 a.m. They saw a white male on the sand this morning and called 911. Officers responded to the scene,โ€ said Hollywood Police Detective Danielly DeAndrade. โ€œA white male was seen on the ground, not breathing, unresponsive. Fire rescue was called, they responded, pronounced him dead on scene.โ€

7Skyforce captured aerial footage showing police placing a white body bag on top of the man and securing the area with crime scene tape. Flip-flops, a bag, and pieces of clothing were found near the body.

A woman was seen running on the beach and talking with detectives, fearful that the man found could be her husband.

Police suspect thereโ€™s no foul play. The body has not been identified.

Authorities advise avoiding the southern tip of Hollywood Beach, where it meets Miami-Dade County.
