Man Found Dead, Wife Injured on Bolivar Peninsula as Cindy Batters Coast
A couple was found near the shore of the Gulf Coast on Bolivar Peninsula Thursday morning, with one man dead and his wife suffering non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Galveston County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities discovered the couple at the intersection of state highways 87 and 124, right near High Island Beach. Chief Deputy Vic Maceo said the car was flooded and that the husband was deceased; his wife was transferred to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston in stable condition.
The couple had been missing from Winnie, Texas, in Chambers County since Tuesday and the Department of Public Safety had issued a Silver Alert, which it discontinued today. Maceo said there is so far no sign of foul play in the man's death.
Earlier reports in the Houston Chronicle, citing Galveston County sheriff's officials, said the couple may have had a suicide pact, but Maceo said there was no information to suggest that at this time. He would not release any additional information.
