Body of abalone diver found in Fisk Mill Cove in Salt Point State Park
The body of an abalone diver was pulled from the ocean at Fisk Mill Cove in northern Sonoma County just after 2 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office.
Several agencies responded, including the sheriff’s helicopter, Henry 1.
The victim, who was not identified, was in his early to mid-30s, said Sgt. Spencer Crum, Sheriff’s Office spokesman.
A woman hiking along the cove in Salt Point State Park spotted the body in the water around 1:45 p.m. and called 911, Crum said.
A California State Parks lifeguard retrieved the body, according to dispatch reports. The sheriff’s helicopter then lifted the body from the beach to the parking lot above.
A vehicle in the parking lot is believed to belong to the victim, Crum said.
