Hours later, at around 2 p.m. the wreckage of the missing Piper Cherokee was located around 1/3 of a mile west offshore, directly west of the Venice Municipal Airport, police said. It was in the plane's passenger area that divers from the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office found the body of a dead child, police said.

However, they said he had yet to be found."This is a very active search and investigation," the Venice Police Department said. Police said that while they had information on the man believed to be missing, they would not be releasing that information until their family members could be notified and clearance given from other involved agencies, including the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.The FAA did not immediately respond to an overnight request for comment from NBC News.
