A suspicious death investigation is underway in Brevard County after a person's body was found Tuesday on a boat in the Banana River near Cocoa Beach, deputies said.

Someone spotted the boat in the Thousand Islands area near Ramp Road late Tuesday morning. A body was found on board the boat.

Brevard County deputies aren't saying if it's a male or female. Witnesses have been interviewed, but investigators haven't released many other details.

"It's in a remote area, so it's a little tricky with the water and the geography," said Cpl. Dave Jacobs, of the Brevard County Sheriff's Office.

The Sheriff's Office's dive team has been searching the area.
