PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Panama City Beach authorities say
they found the body of a 21-year-old spring breaker from Texas in a
ditch near the beach.
The body of Justin Richard Delval, of Katy, Texas, was
discovered Wednesday morning by another beachgoer. She told
officers she thought he had fallen from the balcony of a nearby
condo, but police say that's unlikely. The nearest balcony was 25
to 30 feet from where the body was found.
As police worked the scene, a group of men walking by told
officers they recognized Delval. They said they had met him the
night before at the nearby condo building, and he had been heavily
intoxicated.
Police aren't sure about they cause of death, but they say there
are no wounds that would indicate foul play.
