Justice of the Peace Judge Saunders was called to the scene and pronounced Rodriguez dead at 5:50 p.m.
Rodriguez’s family has been notified, according to authorities.
He first disappeared on the Fourth of July, and officials suspected he had drowned at Party Cove in Canyon Lake.
Witnesses told deputies that Rodriguez jumped off of a boat to cool off and was in the water for just a few minutes before he went under.
Soon after, deputies, game wardens and Canyon Lake Fire staff and EMS began their search for Rodriguez last weekend and have continued to search until he was recovered on Thursday.
