The Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) said Wednesday that crews found the body of a man consistent with the description given of the kayaker reported missing at Marine Creek Reservoir in Fort Worth on Monday.

"Although, we do believe that this is the missing kayaker, the Medical Examiner's office will be responsible for positively identifying the deceased person," Fort Worth police said. 

Around 8 p.m. on Monday, the man was reported missing to the Fort Worth police; the family said their last contact with him was around 10 a.m. that day, when he said he was going fishing and kayaking. They said his location last pinged near the reservoir on Monday.

Multiple family members identified the missing kayaker as 24-year-old Juan Silvestre Salgado. 

Officers found his vehicle parked near a boat ramp, and Fort Worth police Air One found his empty kayak on the east side of the lake. 

Fort Worth Fire Department dive teams also responded and crews searched the area until 11 p.m. on Monday, when TRWD took over and continued searching until the early morning hours. 

Texas Game Wardens, TRWD, Fort Worth PD and Fort Worth FD continued the search Tuesday and Wednesday. 

TRWD said the body found on Wednesday will be turned over to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner for identification. The investigation is ongoing.
