Houston Exec's Body Found?

A missing business executive in Houston was found drowned in the Mississippi River this week, found by New Orleans police.

The Houston based execustive, Douglas Schantz, was 54.

He was an executive in a Texas oil company, Sequent Energy Management, based in Houston.

There is reportedly videotape of the oil executive on the night he went missing, where he has been drinking and seems disoriented, which lends credence to the theory that he accidentally drowned.

All of his money and credit cards were found on his person, making it less likely he was the victim of foul play. So police are saying it was most likely a tragic accident.
