The Coast Guard says they have recovered the body of Captain Charlie Griffin, and his dog, off of the Outer Banks, according to our news-gathering partners at the Outer Banks Voice.
Captain Charlie Griffin starred in the t.v. show "Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks."
The Coast Guard told the Voice that they received a report of an overdue vessel traveling from Virginia to Wanchese.
The 35' vessel was then located off Pea Island, and Griffin and his dog were discovered deceased onshore.
The vessel appears to have capsized somewhere near Oregon Inlet, according to the Coast Guard.
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is leading the ongoing investigation along with assistance from officers with US Fish and Wildlife, National Park Service, NC Marine Fisheries, Dare County Sheriff's Office, and the US Coast Guard.
The Voice has contacted the US Coast Guard for further information. We will update this story as soon as possible.
