I went snorkeling there once. The animals are vicious, and there was a raccoon out in broad daylight following us. Nice enough park though. I found a golfball a few hundred feet out in the water. No dead bodies though.
 
Interestingly the papers are quiet. Its been all over TV. <shrug> Welcome to South Florida.

A park ranger saw the man floating in the water and pulled him ashore. He was wearing a wetsuit but had no tank, weight belt or mask. Police think the man had been dead for at least several hours and likely drifted to the beach in a strong current, Hollywood police Capt. Tony Rode said.

There were no unattended boats or cars nearby, and police were working to identify the man.
