Body found floating in water near Golden Gate Bridge, SF police say

SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco police officers on marine patrol found a person dead in the water west of the Golden Gate Bridge on Saturday morning.

The body was found at about 10 a.m. near Point Diablo, on the Marin County side of the Golden Gate channel, according to a statement from the San Francisco Police Department Saturday afternoon.

The body was recovered from the water and will be examined by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to determine an identity.

An SFPD spokesperson did not immediately respond to whether the person was believed to be associated with a boat that capsized on July 14 on its way to Alcatraz.

The boat was carrying 20 passengers who were going to attend a memorial service when it took on a wave and capsized.

One person died and three more people were initially missing after the 49-foot cabin cruiser went down. A person was later found dead in the water on July 16, near Treasure Island. Police have not confirmed if the person was one of those missing.

The search for survivors was suspended the day after the boat capsized, after more than 24 hours of searching by the U.S. Coast Guard and local authorities.
