Deputies said he is the missing boater who fell into the water near Antioch Bridge on April 28. They found him at 2:11 p.m. Saturday after receiving reports of a body on the levee at False River near the San Joaquin River.
Initial reports from deputies said two men were on a boat trying to set an anchor to start fishing when a wake came along.
