10.13.87, St. Petersburg Times, St. Petersburg, Fla.; Body found in Tampa Bay is identified; BRADENTON - The Manatee County Sheriff's Department on Monday identified a body found floating in Tampa Bay last week as that of 30-year-old Charles Huth of [address withheld] in St. Petersburg. Huth's body was found Thursday two miles east of Anna Maria Island. The death has been ruled a suicide. The Sheriff's Department said Huth apparently jumped from the span of the new Skyway. Last Wednesday, the Florida Highway Patrol removed Huth's motorcycle from the top of southbound span of the bridge. Authorities ruled Huth's death a suicide after relatives said Huth had been despondent because of a drunken driving arrest and turning 30 years old.
