Police received a report of a body in the water against the rocks at the marina's southernmost point, Berkeley police Sgt. David White said.

A server at Hs Lordships restaurant discovered the body “submerged at the bay's edge” according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The staff had been in a restaurant meeting.

"We had a moment of silence for the individual,” the Chronicle quotes general manager Kelli Praught as saying.  [Where we] “thought about their family."
