BELLE ROSE - Agents recovered the body of a 38-year-old who went missing early Tuesday while fishing in lower St. Martin Parish.

The man, later identified as Seth A. Falcon, of Pierre Part, was found near the site of the crash.

Falcon went missing sometime early Tuesday morning or possibly overnight Monday. His boat was found crashed, believed to have collided with a pylon in the water and thrown him from the boat and into the water. 

His dog was found on a nearby platform and reunited with his family. 

His sister, Sarah Falcon Ponsaa, said Falcon "loved the water" and found peace being out on it, saying it was not a surprise that he "found eternal peace on it now."

"I’ve been battling cancer and so he would always drop in when he could to check on his sissy," Ponsaa said. "I wish I could have one more drop in and one more 'I love you sissy.' He came by on February 12 and I wasn’t here, so he scribbled on a note that he loved me and stuck it in the door. Something made me keep it."
