Man looking for bait near tide pools finds decomposed body wedged in rocks, CA cops say
A man looking for bait near tide pools along a California coastline discovered a decomposing body, police told multiple news outlets.
The male body was found wedged in rocks around 5:40 a.m. on Wednesday, July 13, near Claibornes Cove in Sunset Cliffs, a neighborhood in San Diego, KNSD reported.
Authorities responded to the 1200 block of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard area and found the body where the witness saw it, KFMB-TV reported.
Rescuers faced some challenges while removing the remains from the jagged rocks because of how they were wedged among them, KSWB-TV reported.
Police said little is known about the person’s identity because of the body’s state of decomposition, the outlet reported.
But investigators believe the body likely washed ashore during the high tide the day before it was discovered, KNSD reported.
A San Diego County medical examiner went to the scene to look at the body and will continue the investigation, KFMB-TV reported.
