A group of kayakers located a deceased man near Trinidad before 10 a.m. today, confirmed one of those there.

“We found him bobbing in the water around the corner from the north end of College Cove,” the kayaker told us. He asked to remain anonymous.

He explained that a group goes out every Sunday up there. He said there were eight to 10 involved today’s outing.

Some of the kayakers had gone ahead but the main group located the deceased man. “He had on a shirt and a jacket but whatever was on below his waist was torn off by the surf if he had it,” the kayaker explained.

A wallet was located on the deceased person’s body but the kayaker said that they didn’t look in it.

We’ve contacted the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and requested more information. We will update when we receive it.

I think you mean he “asked to remain anonymous”. Hope you’re having a great Sunday, Kym.

There are a couple of places on the trail past the stairs down to college cove where one might easily fall or jump to one’s death, especially at the far north end of the trail.

It’s been a crappy well all over the place.

They’re sure some people out there the like to correct everything that people say if it’s not precisely right and punctuated correctly what should matter is the information and I’m I’m sorry for the Man’s family I hope he didn’t suffer

My understanding is that Claudia uses a speech to text software that is unable to insert punctuation.

It’s shitty and not clever or original to make fun of her for it.

True, but that software certainly DOES insert punctuation if you speak it.
Just sayin’
