LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (AP) - A body was recovered in the ocean off a Southern California beach in the same area where a person was found dead in the water a week earlier, authorities said.
A search was launched Friday afternoon following reports of a missing swimmer in the Table Rock area of Laguna Beach.
It wasn’t immediately known if the person found dead on Saturday is the swimmer reported missing the previous day, said Carrie Braun, spokeswoman for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
A body was pulled from the water near Table Rock a week earlier, officials said.
It’s the third death along Orange County’s coastline in the past week. A 25-year-old man was found dead in the surf off Huntington Beach on Aug. 25, the Orange County Register reported.
