MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A bodyless head that washed ashore in South Florida has been identified as that of a 19-year-old swimmer who went missing in Miami Beach after he tried to rescue his younger sister from a rip current. Victor Enrique Castaneda Jr. was reported missing near a jetty on Nov. 9. Authorities were notified Nov. 12 of human remains found on the barrier island of Key Biscayne, and the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner confirmed the remains were those of Castaneda.
