MARIN COUNTY (CBS SF) – An Oakland man whose boat capsized off Muir Beach on Wednesday was found dead around 6:30 p.m. that day, a U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman said.
Juki Dang, 64, was found in the area where his 10-foot skiff capsized, Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Sarah Wilson said.
Dang's body was taken to the Coast Guard Station Golden Gate south of Sausalito and turned over to the Marin County coroner's office, Wilson said.
Car keys and Dang's wallet were found aboard the skiff and a cooler with ice and fish was found nearby, according to the Coast Guard.
