James Edward McCory, 65, was found Friday morning floating in Biscayne Bay. No cause of death has been given.
The man whose body was pulled from the bay waters off North Coconut Grove on Friday has been identified by authorities as 65-year-old James Edward McCory.
Responding to a phone call around 8 a.m., Miami police say officers from the department’s marine patrol division located the body floating in Biscayne Bay not far from Mercy Hospital.
No cause of death has been given and police have not said if foul play is suspected. The investigation remains ongoing.
This is the third death this year near the Coconut Grove waterfront.
Coconut Grove native, John Callobre, 62, died on January 15 after jumping into the water off Dinner Key to retrieve a dinghy that was floating away from a friend’s boat. His body was recovered later that day by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
In August, a body of an elderly man was pulled from a boat docked at Pier 7 of Dinner Key Marina. Police have not released details in that case, including the man’s identity and the cause of death.
