The man found last weekend floating in Matanzas Pass has been identified as Timothy Pfister of Cape Coral.

On July 8, the Lee Count Sheriff’s Office responded to a call of a dead man floating in the water. Deputies responded and recovered the body, but were unable to immediately identify him. The Sheriff’s Office asked the community for assistance, sending out a description, photos of the clothes Pfister was found in and a rendering of his face. According to a press release Wednesday, the public information brought in a call from the family of Pfister, who were able to successfully identify him.
