Sheriff’s Office: Coroner Requests Public’s Help in Identifying Body Found in Bay Point

by ECT

An autopsy has been conducted on a decomposed body that was found on Sunday in the waters off Mallard Island near Bay Point. There were no obvious signs of trauma. The cause of death is pending toxicology tests.

The Coroner’s Division still has not been able to identify the person and is requesting the public’s assistance.

The body is described as that of an older man, who may be either Hispanic, Asian or Caucasian. This person had a hip replacement and spinal surgery. There was also a tattoo of a tiger on the left upper arm. He was dressed in blue slacks with a belt and wearing a thermal top. There was a Leatherman multi-tool on his belt.

The body was discovered in a marsh by people fishing in the area. It is believed the body has been in the water for a month or more.

Anyone with any information on this case is asked to call the Coroner’s Division at (925) 313-2850. For any tips, call (866) 846-3592 to leave an anonymous voice message or email: [email protected].
