Sacramento, CA- While training on the American River Thursday, Sacramento City Firefighters, aboard Sac Fire Boat #5, discovered a body floating amongst the logs across from Tiscornia Beach, per Capt. Jim Doucette.

Doucette stated that they do not believe this is the body of George Ho who drowned just a few hundred feet downriver Sunday. Ho was wearing shorts at time he disappeared in the water; dark pants and footwear were on the body that was recovered today.

Per Doucette, "the Sacramento Police Department and the Sacramento County Coroners Office responded. Firefighters assisted with the retrieval of the body."

The case is currently under investigation.

With all of the trauma over Mr. Ho's body being missing and then found on the 24th of July (my prayers are with the family), I barley found anything relating to my fathers death, The 2nd person whom was discovered on this river around the very same time . Only no one new or maybe he was overlooked? What ever the case, the body of Macario Hernandez beloved Father and Grandfather was discovered on 22JULY2009 in the American River in Discovery Park. The cause of death has yet to be determined. His family have now been notified-
