“We were passing the buoys, and we thought it was trash. … We noticed… what seemed to be a back, so we turned around to confirm,” one of the boaters told ABC 7.
“It was actually pretty surreal. To think that you could find a dead body like that… like right outside of the marina in Long Beach — that’s insane,” the second boater added.
The man’s body had no “obvious signs of trauma” and foul play is not expected, the Long Beach Police Department told The Post.
