The body of an unidentified man was recovered from the ocean early Monday morning, December 9, by first responders.
They had responded to a 911 call at 5:00 a.m. Monday reporting a body face-down on the beach near the end of Bermuda Ave. getting carried out to sea by waves.
The San Diego Police Department and San Diego Fire-Rescue joined lifeguards in teams that searched for over an hour. At first, they found no one but when the sun rose, they found the body in the waves.
According to the Times, Onscene.Media reported that a man went into the ocean on Sunday and vanished, but it remains unclear whether it is the same person.

More from 7SanDiego: “A person walking in Point Loma made a grisly discovery Monday morning in Ocean Beach when they spotted a body on the shore. After the corpse was found in Ocean Beach, just before 6 a.m., however, the tide pulled it back out to sea
Lifeguards continued to search for about a half-hour but were unable to locate the body, so they then contacted the U.S. Coast Guard to join the search. Lifeguards spotted the body again just before 8 a.m. and brought it to shore.
Officials say the victim is a man who was believed to be in his 40s. San Diego police have been called in to investigate the death.”

Where can I get more information about this?
This story is 11 months old. I would try the coroner’s office, SDPD, UT archives.
Why was the name not updated??? Troy Carter was his name!!
We were there that day waving the coast guards down to help point where he was in the water. We look all the time to see if they had identified him yet. Wondering if you knew if they identified him yet?
