"The body matches the description of Tavaughn Bulgin, 21, who has been the subject of a weeklong ongoing search since he went missing Sunday night after jumping from the Big Bridge (Jaws Bridge) between Edgartown and Oak Bluffs.

"We extend our deepest condolences to the Bulgin family upon the devasting loss of these two young men."

The body of Tavaughn's brother, Tavaris, aged 26, was found last Monday morning.

The pair, who were originally from Jamaica, were working at a restaurant on Martha's Vineyard this summer.
