The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office recovered a body a short time ago believed to be that of a missing swimmer from yesterday, according to sheriff's office spokesman Kevin Kelshaw.
A positive identification and cause of death will be determined following an autopsy by District Medical Examiner Dr. Terrence Steiner.
The body was located at 11:15 a.m. by a sheriff' office PSA (Public Service Assistant) who was patrolling the beach. The body came ashore near Butler Beach, just south of Mary Street.
The name of the 25-year old victim is still being withheld pending notifying a relative. We will release the name when notification is made.
TV20 will have more on this story this evening.
