The body of a US tourist was found washed ashore on Tuesday at Phuket's Nai Harn beach, where he had been swept out to sea while swimming with his wife and child on Sunday.

Rescuers found the body of James Du Bois, 48, in the rocky area of Nai Harn beach.  

Du Bois went swimming there with wife and son on Sunday. They were swept away from the beach by the strong current. His family was saved by life guards as Du Bois disappeared from view.

Divers, rescuers in boats and drones were all involved in the search for Du Bois, which was hampered by stormy weather and high waves.
