Body from apparent Sunshine Skyway suicide found

A fisherman recovered the body of a man near Manatee County on Wednesday afternoon, two days after he apparently jumped to his death from the Sunshine Skyway bridge, authorities said.

Hillsborough County sheriff's officials identified the man who died as 27-year-old Anthony Walter of Thonotosassa.

Authorities found a 1995 Acura abandoned on the bridge Monday, said sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter, leading officials to assume someone had jumped.

Walter is listed as the owner of the Acura, Carter said.
