ORANGE BEACH — Authorities have located two bodies along the Baldwin County’s Gulf Coast shore on Tuesday morning near where crews searched for two Louisiana men who went missing in the surf over this past weekend.
WALA-TV reports that authorities in Orange Beach say a body washed up early Tuesday morning at Gulf State Park, and a second one was found later in Gulf Shores.
The remains were found after two swimmers were last seen near Perdido Pass on Sunday night. Authorities identified the missing men as 22-year-old Darius Robinson and 28-year-old Ryan Guy, both of Louisiana.
Around the same time they went missing a third swimmer was found floating face down in the water by boaters. A person identified as 28-year-old Jasmine Brundy was taken to a hospital in Pensacola, Florida and remains in critical condition.
Police say the three were together.
Witnesses told police they saw two men clinging onto an inflatable device and waving for help. The area is known for strong rip tides. Orange Beach Surf Rescue posted on its Facebook page that yellow flags were flying at the beach Sunday, indicating for swimmers to use caution in “moderate surf/current.”
