On Sunday, January 22, 2023, at approximately 10:46 AM a lifeless body was discovered within storm debris of the Corte Madera Creek waters near a building fronting 1251 S. Eliseo Drive, in Greenbrae. A passing rower / crew member traversing the area made the initial discovery and reported her findings to 9-1-1. First Responders were immediately dispatched to the area and located the remains in the waterway. The subject was pulled to a dock at the base of the Bon Air Bridge where death was pronounced without any resuscitative aid provided as physiologic signs of death were noted. Preliminary investigation suggests the subject was exposed to the elements and submerged for a prolonged time period. No overt signs of foul play were noted upon the remains.
