PLANT CITY, Fla. — A body found buried in a backyard was identified Friday as missing Florida lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office said the remains were identified through fingerprints, but a cause of death likely won’t be known until Monday. The body was found Thursday at a Plant City home connected to a woman who had befriended Shakespeare.
The 43-year-old truck driver’s assistant disappeared in April. He had won a $31 million lottery jackpot in 2006, opting for a lump sum payment of nearly $17 million.
