BOLIVAR PENINSULA, Texas — Galveston County deputies are investigating after the body of a 45-year-old man was found on Crystal Beach early Tuesday morning.

The body of the 45-year-old man, that appeared to have washed up on the beach, was found just before 4 a.m. Tuesday morning, Captain Ray Nolen, of the Galveston County Sheriff's Office told 12News.

The man's body was found and reported to the sheriff's office by a person walking on the beach.
