TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. — Police found the body of a man who witnesses heard calling for help from the water early Monday near a Tarpon Springs bar.
The body of 27-year-old Robert Fiscus was recovered Tuesday afternoon from Salt Lake near Riverside Ridge Road, according to a Tarpon Springs Police Department news release.
The Pinellas County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed Fiscus' identification. It's not yet known what led up to his death.
Officers earlier in the day said they were called around 3:40 a.m. Monday to The Bridge Lounge after receiving reports that a man was in the water shouting for help. When they arrived, they didn't find anybody but did recover a bicycle and a cell phone.
That cellphone was linked to Fiscus, according to the department.
Officers searched along the shore while members of the Tarpon Springs Fire Department searched the water by boat and the Pinellas County
Sheriff's Office Aviation Unit flew over the area.
After Fiscus was not found initially, he was listed as missing and endangered in both the Florida and National crime information centers.
