PUNTA GORDA, Fla. — Authorities say a body found over the weekend in Charlotte County is a missing Iraq war veteran.
A medical examiner confirmed that the remains are of former Marine Eric Hall, according to a sheriff’s spokesman. A cause of death has not been determined.
Dozens of volunteers scoured the area on Florida’s west coast, and searchers located a body Sunday.
The 24-year-old’s family has scheduled a memorial service for Thursday morning. Hall will be buried in Indiana, where he grew up.
He moved to Florida shortly before he went missing in early February. Relatives feared he was hallucinating and believed he was back in Iraq. He had been wounded in a bomb explosion in June 2005 and was granted medical retirement.
