I didn't find anything for time stamp but maybe I didn't look hard enough.

Also, I'm not sure if BRIDGE REPAIR is a metaphor.

Lots of bridge work going on in the outerbanks of NC in the past few years.

Also, while repairing the Bonner Bridge over Oregon Inlet, workers dropped a bridge casing on the islands power cables. It knocked out ALOT. Was a pretty big deal. Seems like a very very careless (or on purpose) accident.

Excuse my punctuation as I'm a little excited.

It appeared to be the only section upโ€ฆ and left up for a LOOONG time.

 

I feel like I remember locals saying how they were taking forever to take the very last secion down (The section that "killed" the guy).

Beachgoer finds body washed up on Outer Banks, National Park Service says

Apr. 9โ€”A body was found early Friday on a beach at Cape Hatteras National Seashore on North Carolina's Outer Banks.

 

A local resident found the man's body just before 9:15 a.m. Friday between Salvo and Avon, officials said.

 

"The body appeared to have been in the ocean for an extended period of time," according to the park service.

 

The person's identity and cause of death have not been determined, the National Park Service said in a news release Friday.

 

News outlets in Virginia reported the body could be that of 47-year-old Erik Mezick, who went missing in December after his truck crashed over a railing at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

 

Mezick's family reported Friday they were notified "Erik has been found in North Carolina โ€ฆ on his favorite beach." The message appeared on a Facebook page called "Finding Erik Mezick," which has more than 8,000 members.

 

Multiple departments responded to the 911 call Friday. The body will be taken to the North Carolina Medical Examiner's Office for further investigation, officials said.

 

The Outer Banks is known as a place where all manner of things wash up on beaches, due to colliding currents from the north and south.

 

In May, a human head washed up on the Shackleford Banks at Cape Lookout National Seashore, which is to the south of Cape Hatteras.

 

The discovery prompted an ongoing murder investigation involving a missing 21-year-old soldier stationed at Fort Bragg. The soldier was camping at the park when he vanished May 22, McClatchy News reported. No arrest has been announced in the case.

MANTEO, N.C. โ€” The brother of a man whose box truck went off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT) in December 2020 said that someone found his brother's body on the beach on the Outer Banks Friday.

 

โ€œGodโ€™s good and heโ€™s coming home," said Kevin Mezick.

 

His brother, Erik Mezick, 47, was a driver for Cloverland Greenspring Dairy and the CBBT was a regular route for him to travel. When his truck went off the CBBT, Mezick was on the northbound span between the North Channel Bridge and the northernmost island.

 

Kevin has driven 200 miles roundtrip at least 40 times to search the waters for signs of his brother, Erik. He said the thought of his brother alone in the water drove him crazy, but now he can rest.

 

โ€œIโ€™m just thankful we can bring him home and that we have him," said Kevin.

 

Several groups, including the U.S. Coast Guard, were part of the search for Mezick. His family asked any boaters or fishermen who were in the area of the CBBT to help in the search.

 

โ€œWe appreciate everything and we are forever grateful," said Kevin Mezick.

 

He said the community support revealed how deeply his brother touched lives.

 

Friday afternoon, the National Park Service (NPS) said someone who lived on the Outer Banks was on a Cape Hatteras National Seashore beach between the villages of Salvo and Avon around 9:15 a.m. That person found a body.

 

The National Park Service did not say whose body it was, only that it was the body of a male and that the body appeared to have been in the ocean for an extended period of time.

 

Longtime friend Doug Marshall said Mezick was still in his work uniform and had his wallet.

 

โ€œThe weight lifted is life-changing for everyone," said Marshall.

 

The discovery has brought more than relief for Marshall, who described the way it unfolded as unreal and about as good of an ending to this story as possible.

 

โ€œThey found him at Cape Hatteras on what his family is saying was one of his favorite beaches to go to,โ€ said Marshall.

 

Around 9:20 a.m., Marshall texted Mezickโ€™s brother, Kevin, and hinted the changes in the water may indicate a good day for the search.

 

Just four minutes earlier unbeknownst to Marshall a passerby found Mezick's body.

 

โ€œThe fact that he washed up where he wanted to, when he wanted to in an area where he liked, it fulfills this story as good as it can possibly fulfill it," said Marshall.

 

NPS said the person's remains would be transferred to the North Carolina Medical Examiner's Office.
