The family of Toronto filmmaker Rob Stewart says his body was ''found peacefully in the ocean'' Friday after he disappeared Tuesday while diving in the Florida Keys.
A Facebook post by Stewart's sister Alexandra asks for privacy now in order for the family to grieve.
The US coast guard said a body was found Friday about 90 metres from where the 37-year old Stewart surfaced from a dive on Tuesday and then disappeared.
Stewart's diving partner lost consciousness as he got into the dive boat and Stewart's family believes he too may have lost consciousness.
Stewart was in Florida filming a follow up movie to his 2006 documentary ''Sharkwater,'' called ''Sharkwater Extinction.''
