Police: Body found in Ohio River likely capsized boat victim

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The Louisville Police Department says investigators believe they have recovered the body of one of the three people who remain missing after a pontoon boat capsized in the Ohio River over the weekend.

Police say a family walking along the river near the Falls of the Ohio Monday night found the body and called authorities.

Capt. Joel DeMoss tells TV station WLKY (http://bit.ly/1Cm6pwb ) authorities believe it was likely a man involved in the accident.

Jefferson County Deputy Coroner Jack Arnold says he expects to identify the victim by Tuesday.

Missing are Danal Swinney, 36; his girlfriend, Joyce Wright, 37; and his 10-year-old daughter, called "We-We."

Officials say nine people were aboard the boat to watch Fourth of July fireworks when it capsized Saturday. One adult and one child died. Four people were rescued.
