ST. MARTINVILLE, La. (AP) — The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries says searchers have found the body of a Baton Rouge firefighter who apparently fell into the Intracoastal Canal on Jan. 30 while loading his boat onto a trailer in St. Martin Parish.

Spokesman Adam Einck says the body of 28-year-old Jacob P. Lewis of Walker was found shortly after noon Thursday and turned over to the St. Martin coroner for autopsy.

Lewis’ wife told investigators they had been scouting for crawfish trap locations. He reportedly had backed their truck toward their boat and went to hitch it up. Assumption Parish Sheriff Mike Waguespack has said the wife got out of the truck after realizing the boat hadn’t hit the trailer, and she saw Lewis trying to swim to the drifting boat.
