A body found off the coast of Orange County has been identified as that of a swimmer reported missing last month in Seal Beach.
Joe Wayne Benford, 24, of Long Beach, went swimming with three friends off the Seal Beach west jetty on Aug. 31 amid powerful rip currents, according to a Seal Beach police report.
His friends made it back to shore, but he did not.
His body was retrieved Thursday. There was no evidence of foul play.
A cause of death was pending the results of a toxicology test.
