A body was found early Wednesday during the search for a swimmer reported missing hours earlier off the Los Angeles County coast.
Teams of lifeguards worked into the early morning hours to look for the swimmer off Playa del Rey. The swimmer was reported missing at about 1 a.m. Two other swimmers with the man were able to get out of the water.
Lifeguard rescue boats joined the search, which was temporarily suspended early Wednesday morning due to fog. The search resumed after sunrise, and a body was found later Wednesday morning in the water about 300 yards from where the swimmer was last seen.
The body was recovered from the water.
